The reason behind Kyle Walker's surprise omission from Manchester City's matchday squad for Saturday's FA Cup clash against minnows Salford has been revealed as Pep Guardiola cast doubt over the star's future.
Walker wasn't named in City's team that arrived at the Etihad to take on Gary Neville and Class of 92' backed Salford who were hoping to cause a shock third round upset in the competition.
The 34-year-old suffered a career-worst patch of form at City during the side's end of year struggles and now finds himself on the periphery of Guardiola's squad.
