Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola drops Kyle Walker for Champions League final with Inter Milan

<p>England international Kyle Walker has missed out on a place in the Manchester City starting line-up for Saturday's Champions League final against Inter Milan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The full-back played a big role as the Sky Blues powered to a domestic double this season, winning both the Premier League and FA Cup.</p>

<p>Walker endured an injury scare in the closing minutes of last weekend's FA Cup final against Manchester United.</p>

<p>The player did not take part in an open training session earlier this week and manager Pep Guardiola has decided to replace the 33-year-old with Nathan Ake.</p>

<p>Speaking with Sky Sports News ahead of the game, Walker played down talk of injury.</p>

<p>He said: "I'm fine, I'm just getting old. I'm completely fine, it's just an extra day of recovery.</p>

<p>"I played a lot of minutes over the last number of weeks so the manager said just stay inside and come Saturday you will be raring to go.</p>

<p>"I'm fine, the minutes that I've played when everyone else was injured, I was there digging my heels in and getting through it. I won't be missing the Champions League final for anything."</p>

<p>Should City prevail in Saturday's final they will emulate rivals Manchester United as the only English side to ever claim the league, cup and European Cup treble.</p>
