More from Pep on Walker
Pep Guardiola admitted it is because the right-back hopes for a fresh start abroad.
Pep added: “Maybe I'm wrong but I still am pretty convinced that there's no-one in our job that doesn't want to be where they are who can perform.
“Kyle asked to explore, but it doesn't mean it's going to happen because you never know.
“He has been our right back and given us something we haven’t had.
“He’s been amazing but now in his mind he would like to go to another country and play for other reasons.”
Walker to leave Man City
Pep Guardiola has said Kyle Walker wants to leave Man City THIS MONTH.
Guardiola made the revelation following City's 8-0 FA Cup triumph over neighbours Salford last night, which Walker did not feature in.
The City boss said: “Two days ago Kyle asked to explore the option to play abroad.
He asked after the treble, when Bayern (Munich) wanted him but the offer was not good enough.
“He went to (director of football) Txiki (Begiristain) of course, and I prefer to play other players whose mind is here.”
FA's statement on VAR
The FA said in a statement: "Video Assistant Referees (VAR) will only be used in the 2024-25 Emirates FA Cup from the Fifth Round onwards.
"It has been agreed that VAR will be utilised for every match in the Fifth Round of the competition through to the Final at Wembley Stadium, and will not be in operation for the Third and Fourth Rounds.
"VAR has only been used in the Emirates FA Cup previously for matches at Wembley Stadium and at Premier League grounds due to the infrastructure, workforce and costs that are required for its operation.
"This decision ensures that there is a consistent refereeing approach for all clubs taking part in the same stage of the competition."
Is VAR used in the FA Cup third round?
No. VAR is not being used in the FA Cup until the fifth round stage.
Previously VAR was used in the FA Cup in the third and fourth rounds, but only at Premier League stadiums due to "due to the infrastructure, workforce and costs that are required for its operation."
