Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips ‘likely’ to be fit for World Cup, Pep Guardiola believes
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes it is “likely” injured England pair Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips will be fit before the World Cup.
Right-back Walker has been out since suffering an abdominal injury in the derby against Manchester United a month ago while midfielder Phillips underwent shoulder surgery in September.
Neither are yet ready to return but, despite the tournament in Qatar beginning in just over three weeks, Guardiola thinks they both still have time.
The City manager said: “It’s likely, from the way they recover. From what I hear in the dressing room, it is likely they can be ready. You don’t play a World Cup every week.”

HT Shakhtar 0-1 RB Leipzig
Christopher Nkunku’s strike is the difference between the two teams in the other Group F early kick off as RB Leipzig have a slender lead at half-time.
As it stands they’re joining Real Madrid in the next round.
Half-time: Real Madrid 2-0 Celtic
45+1 mins: Everything is going Real Madrid’s way in Spain. They’ve been awarded two penalties that Luka Modric and Rodrygo slotted away before Thibaut Courtois denied Josip Juranovic who took a spot kick for Celtic.
Los Blancos go into the break with a comfortable lead.

39 mins: Toni Kroos floats the ball over to Vinicuis Junior on the left side of the pitch and he weaves into the penalty area before a lovely bit of skill flicks the ball over to the head of Josip Juranovic.
The defender recovers well and blocks Vinicius from recovering the ball so the Real winger goes down looking for another penalty. He doesn’t get one this time.
SAVED! Real Madrid 2-0 Celtic
35 mins: Josip Juranovic is the penalty taker for Celtic and he goes for power over placement. The defender smokes the free kick over to Thibaut Courtois’ right but the big Real Madrid goalkeeper leaps across and pushes it wide with his left hand!
Penalty to Celtic!

33 mins: Liel Abada receives the ball on the right side of the pitch and carries it into the box. He’s looking for the square pass as Ferland Mendy comes sliding in.
The defender mistimes his tackle, doesn’t get any of the ball and takes out the Celtic forward. Chance to get one back here for the Scots.
Shakhtar 0-1 RB Leipzig
30 mins: Trubin is called into action once more to deny Forsberg this time as Shakhtar are attempting to weather an RB Leipzig storm.
They do well to then transition quickly up the pitch but winger Ivan Petriak fizzes an effort wide of goal.

27 mins: Save! Celtic burst forward on a counter-attack with Reo Hatate carrying the ball up the pitch. He slides it across to Daizen Maeda who puts Kyogo Furuhashi into the right side of the box.
The forward blasts an effort at goal but hits it at a nice height for Thibaut Courtois to get two hands to the ball and the goalkeeper palms it away. Better from Celtic though.
