Guardiola reacts to police investigation against Kyle Walker

Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola has spoken for the first time about Kyle Walker after a police investigation was launched following allegations of indecent exposure against him.

The 32-year-old England international is alleged to have exposed himself in a Manchester bar over the weekend, while also touching a woman’s breasts.

The right-back was seen in the CCTV footage arriving at the bar alongside a group of friends at around 5:20pm on Sunday, March 6. The video then also allegedly shows Walker kissing and grabbing one of his companions. He danced provocatively with one of them before trying to leave at 6.40pm with his friends.

Though Cheshire Police confirmed on Thursday, March 9, that they were investigating the incident, no arrest has been made.

When asked about the incident today, March 10, Guardiola said;

“It’s a private issue, we solve it internally, speak with him. This is not the place to speak about a private situation.”

When asked if players need to be more careful now when they are out in public, Guardiola said;

“Definitely. It’s a bit different now. They know it. When you open the door at home they need to know they will be filmed whatever they do. That is society.”

Walker, who has four children, has been married to model and reality TV star Annie Kilner since November 2021. The couple, who were childhood sweethearts, have three sons together, Roman, Riaan, and Reign.

They previously met when Waker was 19 years old and Kilner was 16 and were together for over nine years, splitting in May 2019 before later getting back together.
