Champions League final team news
Manchester City are set to have a fully-fit squad to choose from, with Kyle Walker travelling to Istanbul despite missing training earlier this week with a slight back injury.
Pep Guardiola said of Walker’s absence: “He had a disturbance in his back, yesterday he was not good … we will see in the next days.”
Inter Milan could have Henrikh Mkhitaryan fit for the final, and are also hopeful over Joaquin Correa’s availability. Dalbert has been ruled out, but Milan Skriniar could feature for the first time since March.
Romelu Lukaku, on loan from Chelsea, will be hoping to start in Istanbul, with head coach Simeone Inzaghi facing a decision between him and Eden Dzeko in attack.

Manchester City will surely never have a better chance of winning the Champions League, and in turn a famous Treble. That is not to say that Inter are pushovers, but are the weakest of the three teams standing in City’s way for their tilt at history, the others being Premier League runners-up Arsenal and FA Cup finalists Manchester United.
Guardiola infamously tinkered too much when City lost to Chelsea in the final two years ago, so there is always that danger, but you would think any selection should overpower Inter this weekend.
