Kyle Walker set to return for Manchester City against Real Madrid
Walker has not played for Man City since suffering a hamstring injury while featuring for England in last month's friendly against Brazil.
As a result, Walker sat out Premier League games against Arsenal, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, before missing the 3-3 draw in the first leg of Man City's Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid.

Guardiola has suggested that Walker could be involved against Real Madrid, although he is yet to decide whether Walker will start the second leg at the Etihad Stadium.
«He feels much better but he was injured, so now we will see in the next few days,» Guardiola told reporters when asked about Walker's chances of starting against Real Madrid in Saturday's post-match press conference.
«But he's good, he feels good. Maybe he can help with minutes because it's a 'final', but I don't want to lose him for a long time if he gets injured. He will train a bit more now and we will decide.
»I know how important Kyle is against the players from Real Madrid. But he was not in Madrid and Manuel Akanji, Josko Gvardiol, John Stones and Ruben Dias played incredibly well. We will see."
Guardiola will hope that he can call upon Walker's pace and experience to combat the attacking threat offered by Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior.
