"As such, I want to apologize to my family, friends, football club, supporters and the public for letting them down."
This man was arrested for dressing up as a t-rex to defy the coronavirus lockdown in Spain:Manchester City hs now released a statement about the alleged incident and said that they are "disappointed" in Walker's behavior.
The statement reads: "Manchester City 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.:
"Footballers are global role models and our staff and players have been working to support the incredible efforts of the NHS and other key workers in fighting the effects of the Covid-19 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."
