The two contenders for the Premier League title face Wembley this weekend in another exciting draw for a place in the FA Cup final. In between the two matches, both teams played the second matches of the respective quarterfinals of the Champions League. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was able to pull several of his regular first-team players out of the starting line-up, such as Virgil van Dyke and Mohamed Salah, and a 3-3 draw with Benfica was enough to advance to the semi-finals. . City faced a much tougher test against Atletico Madrid with Guardiola’s team having a 1-0 lead from the first game. This meant that Guardiola set a strong starting line-up with De Bruyne, Joao Cancello, Walker, Emerick Lapore and Phil Fontaine playing from the first minute. The Belgian international was forced to leave with an ankle injury with Walker and then leave with a blow moments later. ONLY IN: Jack Grealish nicknamed Peaky Blinders by Man City stars City still had enough to keep away a tough Atletico team and advance to the Champions League semi-finals, but the physical game left its mark on his team. Speaking after the game, Guardiola admitted that “we are in big trouble” regarding the injuries of De Bruyne and Walker. “We played three days ago, now we have a lot of injuries, I do not know what will happen in the coming weeks,” he said. Now RMC Sport claims that both players have been eliminated from the FA Cup semi-final with Liverpool this weekend. The report states that De Bruyne will not return for at least 10 days, also excluding him from the next two Premier League games against Brighton and Watford. DON’T MISS But it could be his turn to return in time for the Champions League draw with Real Madrid on April 26. It is not clear how long Walker will be out, but it is said that he will definitely not play against Liverpool. This probably means that Nathan Ake will come in again for Walker with the 27-year-old impressing in the second half against Atletico. Oleksandr Zinchenko would be another option to replace Walker, but his last appearance was against Sporting Lisbon last month. While De Bruyne and Walker will not be available, Guardiola should be able to welcome again Ruben Dias who has lost the last eight games of City with one blow.
