Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed both Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker missed training on Friday, ahead of Saturday's FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley.
The Reds face their rivals for the second time in a week in a bid to book themselves a spot in the final of the competition. Their opponents, however, could be without two key players for the clash.
The pair both sustained injuries in City's midweek Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid, but Guardiola refused to rule them out of Saturday's meeting at Wembley.

He told the media on Friday: "They (Walker and De Bruyne) didn’t train today. We’ll see tomorrow but apparently it’d be so close after what happened on Wednesday. Ruben Dias trained today and we will see about him."
"He (Walker) wouldn't have remained on the pitch. He had a big twist but it is getting better. In football these kind of things happen but we will adapt and adjust. (For De Bruyne) It is stitches in his calf. It is not a muscular injury."
For Liverpool, they're monitoring the fitness of forward Diogo Jota ahead of tomorrow's clash after the Portuguese international picked up a knock against Benfica midweek.
Jurgen Klopp said on Thursday : "Diogo got a knock which swelled up slightly directly after the game while I was in the press conference. There's a good chance he'll be alright but we have to have a closer look tomorrow. That's it."
