Manchester City have been handed a boost regarding the fitness of Kyle Walker ahead of the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old has missed the last five matches across all competitions since sustaining an ankle injury against Atletico Madrid on April 13.
Pep Guardiola refused to rule out the prospect of Walker missing the rest of the season through injury when he spoke to the media before City's 4-0 win over Leeds United on Sunday.
However, the Spanish boss has seemingly been handed a boost ahead of Wednesday's trip to Madrid, as Walker has been pictured in training on Tuesday morning with the first-team squad.

Walker's defensive partner John Stones, however, was not involved in training as he continues to recover from a muscle problem, and the centre-back is a doubt for tomorrow's game.
Nathan Ake was withdrawn on the hour mark shortly after scoring City's second goal against Leeds on Sunday due to a knock, but the Dutch defender was involved in training and should be available for selection on Wednesday.
The Citizens only require a draw in the Spanish capital against 13-time winners Real Madrid to progress on aggregate to their second successive Champions League final.
