Kyle Walker nearly left Manchester City this summer but now hopes to captain the club after agreeing a new three-year deal.
England defender Walker won his fifth Premier League last year as well as the FA Cup and Champions League to add to his list of many achievements since joining from Tottenham in 2017. However, he was also left out of the team at various points in the season - most notably for the Champions League final, where he gave a passionate address to his teammates beforehand - as Pep Guardiola preferred other options.
Guardiola is resting up in Barcelona after back surgery that has caused him to miss the last two Premier League games, with assistant Juanma Lillo taking charge. His absence has not halted the progress of the team, who have 12 points from 12 to top the table in the early stage of the season. Lillo, who returned to the club this summer after a year as a head coach in Qatar, had made it clear that he was not enjoying stepping up to be the stand-in manager and confirmed that Guardiola would continue to play an instrumental role in the coaching of the team. "Pep is always there," he said.
