Kyle Walker defends himself after second coronavirus lockdown breach

2:04 Manchester City will not take any further action after Kyle Walker apologised for breaking lockdown rules for a second time during what he called ‘one of the toughest periods of my life’.

“My family has been torn apart, this has been dragged through the press, and I ask: when is enough enough?

“At a time when the focus is understandably on Covid-19, at what point does mental health get taken into consideration, an illness which affects every sufferer differently? I am a human being, with feelings of pain and upset just like everybody else.

“Being in the public eye as a professional athlete does not make you immune to this. It is sad, but I feel as though my life is being scrutinised without any context.

“I understand if people are upset or angry with me, but it was important for people to have a better understanding of my life.”

Manchester City will be taking no action against Walker and the club are aware of the wider context behind the player’s actions.
