Walker apologises for breaking lockdown protocols amid 'sex party' allegations

The 29-year-old England full-back has said sorry for his lack of judgement, while his club have indicated that he will be punished internally

Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker has issued an apology for breaching the UK government's coronavirus protocols after a tabloid report claimed the England international hosted a 'sex party'.

The Covid-19 outbreak in the UK has officially infected more than 40,000 people, killing over 4,000, and has resulted in lockdown measures that place significant restrictions on civil liberties.

Among these is a ban on non-essential travel and a strict policy on social distancing, with the 29-year-old in breach of both expectations.
