Kyle Walker is riding a high with Manchester City and England but Pep Guardiola will surely look to bring John Stones back in
Having played an integral part in Manchester City winning the Treble, immense disappointment at not starting the Champions League final will have been offset first by the celebrations that followed and then by the efforts Bayern Munich made to sign him and the Blues made to keep him. With Ilkay Gundogan now at Barcelona, Riyad Mahrez in Saudi Arabia and Kevin De Bruyne sidelined with a long-term injury, Walker has never felt more important on or off the pitch for Pep Guardiola.
As much as Walker feels he can keep going in the long-term, he can't possibly get through every game for City - especially when asked to cover the space on the right wing vacated by Mahrez and not really filled in as Phil Foden stays inside . And as the players in Guardiola's squad know only too well, there is always someone just as good coming to make you fight for your place.For Walker, that may soon be John Stones.
