“Manchester City could welcome back two key stars from injury ahead of Everton clash!” – Huge boost for Pep Guardiola as the title race intensifies
As the Premier League title race hits full throttle, Manchester City have received a massive boost ahead of their crucial clash with Everton — with manager Pep Guardiola confirming in today’s press conference that two key players could return from injury just in time.
“They’re training with the team again,” Guardiola revealed with a smile when asked about the status of his sidelined stars. “If everything goes well in the next couple of sessions, they could be available for selection.”
Although Guardiola didn’t explicitly name the players during the early part of the press conference, club sources later confirmed that both Ederson and Kyle Walker are in contention to return. Ederson has been out with a minor muscular issue, while Walker has been sidelined for weeks following a hamstring injury picked up on international duty.
Their return could not come at a better time. City are locked in a fierce title battle with Arsenal and Liverpool, where every point is crucial and every defensive lapse can be costly. The potential return of Ederson provides not only shot-stopping security but also his elite ball distribution, which is key to City’s build-up play. Meanwhile, Walker’s pace and defensive experience could be vital in containing Everton’s counter-attacking threat.
Guardiola was cautious, though, emphasizing that “we won’t take risks” with any player’s fitness at this stage of the season. But the optimism in his tone was impossible to ignore.
“We know how important every game is now. Having more of our leaders back gives us confidence — but we must stay focused. Everton will be a very tough opponent, especially with how they’ve been fighting lately.”
City currently sit just one point behind leaders Arsenal, with Liverpool trailing closely behind. With only a handful of games remaining, each fixture feels like a final. The return of two veteran leaders could tilt the momentum firmly in City’s favor.
Fans were quick to react on social media, with many already dreaming of a full-strength lineup for the run-in. One supporter posted, “Walker back just in time to lock down the flank. Ederson in goal. Let’s go win this title!”
The Etihad is set to be electric this weekend, and with the cavalry returning, Manchester City might just be gearing up for one last powerful charge toward Premier League glory.
