Guardiola was asked for more detail on Walker’s injury with the Spaniard hinting that his first-choice right-back is already on the mend.
“He would have remained on the pitch. He had a big twist but it is getting better,” he added. “In football these kind of things happen but we will adapt and adjust.”
Liverpool star Salah did pick up a knock after he came on against Benfica, but Klopp expects the Egypt international to be fit to face City. However, there is more concern over Diogo Jota’s involvement with the Liverpool boss admitting on Wednesday the Portuguese forward will face a late fitness test.
Klopp said: “Mo’s knock, I don’t know really, nobody told me yet. I changed with two physios and nobody said to me Mo has a problem, so for the moment everybody should be fine.” He added: “Diogo pulled up slightly directly after the game. There’s a good chance he will be all right but we need to have a look tomorrow. That’s it.”
