MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said Kyle Walker has an abdominal injury that will keep him out for a few weeks, casting doubts on the England defender's fitness for the World Cup.

Walker missed City's 5-0 Champions League victory over FC Copenhagen on Wednesday, having been withdrawn in the first half of his side's 6-3 demolition of Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.
