Pep Guardiola has suggested Kyle Walker faces a challenge to win back his place in the Manchester City side as he cannot play in the current system.

Over the last few weeks, Guardiola has preferred John Stones at right-back, pushing forward in an inverted role, and the England defender excelled in last week’s 4-1 win over Liverpool as he spent much of the second half alongside and often ahead of Rodri helping to pull the strings.
