REUTERS: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he was surprised by Kyle Walker's omission from the England squad for next month's Euro 2020 qualifiers but backed the right back to regain his place.
"I'm not involved. We respect the decision. I think Kyle is coming back and is stronger," Guardiola told reporters ahead of Saturday's Premier League game at home to Brighton & Hove Albion. Walker also faces stiff competition from within City's squad with Guardiola previously stating new signing Joao Cancelo would push the 29-year-old for a starting place."Joao we're delighted with what we've seen and he wasn't in the pre-season. Kyle knows things very well from pre-season and Joao starts to understand," Guardiola added.
"When we come back after the break we have Norwich and then travel to Ukraine ... three days later we have a game here and then the cup ... that's the start of the real season."
