Walker and fellow City defender John Stones were part of the England squad that finished fourth at the World Cup and returned to full training last week. Both players started City’s 2-0 win over Chelsea in the Community Shield on Sunday.
“To not be a part of this would have been stupid, for me to not want to come back,” Walker told reporters.

“The gaffer gave me the option, he said you can either come back on Aug. 6 after this, or you can come back and to play,” Walker added.
