Kyle Walker has barely trained for the last three weeks but started for Manchester City at Bournemouth in the Premier Leaeegue
Kyle Walker felt he needed to force himself back into the Manchester City team at Bournemouth to fulfil his duties as captain.
It wasn't to be on the day, with City suffering their first league defeat for 11 months as they failed to take advantage of Arsenal's lunchtime defeat to Newcastle. However, with Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku also returning the group head to Lisbon determined not to let injuries be an excuse for them and Walker thought he had to demonstrate that attitude at Bournemouth.
"I was there for the lads and full credit to everyone out there - people were playing with knocks, kicks, bruises, pulls and that just shows the determination and what they want to do for the badge or the club. "We stick together even more, me first and foremost as a captain have to make sure that I rally the troops up and we all stick together. Those that are injured - be there for the lads that are playing; those on the bench - be there for the lads that are playing and be ready when you're on the bench to come on and make an impact.
