And I want to reiterate the message: Stay home, stay safe.” Fans disappointed Having been without football since the first week of March, the Citizens said they were 'disappointed' by the actions of the England international. “Manchester City FC are aware of a story in a tabloid newspaper regarding the private life of Kyle Walker in relation to a breach of the UK lockdown and social distancing rules,” a statement by the club read. “Footballers are global role models, and our staff and players have been working to support the incredible efforts of the NHS [National Health Service] and other key workers in fighting the effects of the coronavirus in any way we can. Kyle's actions in this matter have directly contravened these efforts. “We are disappointed to hear the allegations, note Kyle's swift statement and apology, and will be conducting an internal disciplinary procedure in the coming days.”Kickoff
