Kyle Walker has taken a different view to his Manchester City manager, when
speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live this week, going as far as to say that he may take to the pitch again this season.
"
(The ankle is) alright, it's alright," he told the radio station,
as quoted by the Manchester Evening News.
"
I wouldn't say it's perfect, obviously it's had two very bad injuries in two games, but I'm hoping."
Walker continued, "
I've still got hope until the end of the season, until that whistle goes in 90 minutes at the Etihad against Aston Villa, that's when I'll say my season is over and have a little bit of a rest."
"But I've still got hope for tomorrow, I've still got hope for next week, as I say, until the season's done, I'll not be done.
Wishful thinking or a genuine chance? Who knows.
