Kyle Walker facing AC Milan baptism of fire with Serie A giants in an even bigger mess than Man City
KYLE WALKER left a Manchester City team in a bit of a pickle — but nothing compared to the Milan mess he walked into.
The England right-back faces a Serie A baptism of fire against city rivals Inter at the San Siro on Sunday.
Milan consider the arrival of City skipper Walker, 34, a major coup and want him to bring leadership to a group that seems seriously flaky.
Signed on loan with a view to a £4million summer move, he joins fellow Englishmen Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and on loan Tammy Abraham at the club.
Walker watched from the San Siro stands on Sunday as new Portuguese coach Sergio Conceicao and defender Davide Calabria had a heated exchange on the pitch after a 3-2 comeback win over Parma.
Conceicao was appointed on December 30 after the sacking of Paulo Fonseca and is concerned by the squad’s attitude.
Calabria and Loftus-Cheek were among a group of players who went to see a rapper perform in Milan 48 hours before the game — and this has been seen as unprofessional.
Although they are through to the Champions League play-off round, Milan are seventh in Serie A and facing a battle to qualify for Europe next season.
To make matters worse, Inter are in a two-way title battle with Napoli.
Milan’s ultras protested outside a private event marking the 125th anniversary of the club’s foundation — with much criticism of American owners RedBird Capital Partners.

Club legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic — now a senior advisor and operating partner — and president Gerry Cardinale had to enter through a side entrance.
Ibra’s commitment has been questioned given the time he spends on Austria’s ski slopes.
Cardinale is criticised for not being in Italy enough and caused uproar by selling Sandro Tonali to Newcastle in 2023.
Ibrahimovic hosted a lengthy 40-minute unveiling press conference with Walker this week.
He oddly said: “Kyle was not necessarily an objective we were looking at.
“The opportunity arose, we had our fingers on the pulse and it was better having him than not having him.”
Walker becomes the club’s SEVENTH right-back this term, including centre-half Tomori who struggled in that position in Wednesday’s 2-1 Champions League loss at Dinamo Zagreb.
Although he has lost some of his pace and struggled for form and fitness over the last nine months, Milan officials believe Walker will be able to deal with Italian football.
But Tomori, who has played 163 times for Milan since signing in 2021, has not been in good form. He is unlikely to play on Sunday and may be sold.
The same applies to Loftus-Cheek, who is sidelined with a hamstring problem.
He enjoyed a good season last term, but is not suited to the attacking midfield role he has been asked to play.
Abraham — on loan from Roma — has just six goals so far.
Another Brit abroad to make Europe’s fashion capital his home is Walker’s mate Dele Alli, who joined nearby Como.
English players have often found Italian football tough in the past although David Beckham is remembered fondly for his two loan spells at Milan.
And Walker has taken the same shirt number as Beckham wore at Milan – 32.
Whether he will become as popular remains to be seen.
England captain Itoje begs Six Nations chiefs not to sell soul as Gabby Logan slams rugby for ‘shooting itself in foot’
NEW England captain Maro Itoje has pleaded with Six Nations bosses not to sell out the soul of the game for cash.
This season’s tournament marks the end of the current broadcasting deal with BBC and ITV.
Six Nations chiefs are ready to deal a new deal with a Pay-TV broadcaster, meaning the tournament would be off free to air screens for the first time in its history.
But ahead of his England captaincy debut against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon, Red Rose skipper Itoje urged tournament organisers to put history and the good of the game ahead of money.
Itoje said: “The Six Nations should stay on free to air TV.
“The Six Nations should be viewed by as many people as possible.
“I grew up watching the Six Nations on the BBC and on ITV.
“The fact that it’s been on free-to-air, for so many people – I think rugby needs more eyes on it, not less.”
Itoje added: “Obviously I am not involved in the finances of the deals.
“But even though international rugby is massive, the sport should be looking at ways to be more accessible to more people, as opposed to the opposite.”
CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS
BBC and ITV paid £90m per year for their current deal, with broadcasting insiders suggesting Six Nations bosses are being tempted by an offer from TNT Sports worth only £10m more per tournament.
BBC presenter Gabby Logan unsurprisingly backed the Itoje view, pondering: “Is this rugby union shooting itself in the foot again?”
Logan added: “We’re talking about people who don’t watch rugby all the time.
“That neutral fan, who doesn’t really know rugby, they’re not necessarily going to bother to buy TNT or wherever the sport takes the Six Nations.
“If the Six Nations goes behind a paywall, those people enjoying these massive occasions and enjoying the combat and the rivalry will be completely lost.”
Itoje, meanwhile, has backed his side to upset the oddsmakers and land an opening weekend shock.
England are 5-2 outsiders, with statistics gurus Opta giving them only a TWO per cent chance of winning the title.
Itoje scoffed: “That’s funny!
“When people write you off, it always gets the juices flowing a little bit.
“It always gives you a little bit of extra motivation and a bit more anticipation for what you can do and what you can achieve.”

SCOTT Thomas has sensationally quit Love Island All Stars after struggling to find a genuine connection.
The show legend, 36, walked after the latest recoupling on the ITV2 dating show when the reality of his situation hit home.
The Sun can reveal that Scott’s doubts over Tina Stinnes, 29, continued to grow over recent days and despite matching at the fire pit he felt it fairest on her to call time on their relationship.
It left the marketing entrepreneur feeling lost in the villa and he subsequently checked out.
Scott’s decision left his fellow Islanders devastated after he grew close to a number of the lads especially.
A source said: “Since it first came to light Scott wasn’t feeling it with Tina on Vegas night, he’s struggled to feel free within the situation and push past his doubts.
“On tonight’s show viewers will see him continue to work through his concerns about their connection before the Islanders are then plunged into a recoupling.
“Scott was unable to get past the feeling Tina wasn’t right for him and his biggest priority was not wasting her precious time in the villa.
“He knows this is a big opportunity for her in love and life and would never want to ruin that.
“After taking some time out with the dedicated Love Island welfare team, Scott decided that the best thing he could do for himself was to remove himself from the situation.
“He’s done so much work over recent years on self-love and he didn’t want to force a connection for the sake of it.”
Scott had been top of Love Island bookers’ wishlist for years but he consistently turned them down.
Speaking to The Sun before heading on to the All Stars series earlier this month, Scott said: “It feels like the stars have aligned.
“I’ve always tried to almost distance myself from the show a bit, I wanted to kind of prove to myself that I’m more than just Love Island.
“So I finally felt like the last couple of years have gotten to that point, and then when I got the call I just felt in my intuition, this is the time.
“I felt like I’ve been on such an incredible journey that this is now the time to kind of go back and show the new Scott.
“I love the show, I love everyone. I just knew, just felt it in my stomach, really.
“The format just works. Two of the couples from my original series are still now married – Cara and Nathan, Alex and Liv.
“I’d love to meet someone myself and settle down.”
SCOTT’S VILLA JOURNEY
The Manchester businessman, 36, was the oldest contestant in the official ITV2 show after Marcel Sommerville was voted out in the first week.
Scott originally starred in Love Island’s second series back in 2016, and left the villa with Kady McDermott.
They moved in together but split shortly after he was arrested on suspicion of assault following a blazing row with Kady.
Scott, who now runs Manchester-based firm the Social PR, was later released without charge.
His All Stars exit comes after he squared up to Luca in a hairy moment during a villa challenge.
Luca was convinced Scott didn’t fancy Tina and said so in front of the group.
Tina was then at risk of being dumped when she was voted by the public as one of four least popular islanders.
However, the ‘most popular’ islanders, Luca and Elma, were allowed to save one person from the axe and chose Tina.

DON’T let a lost remote ruin your movie night – there’s a trick that can save you.
You can simply speak a “magic phrase” to track down your Amazon Fire TV Stick remote in a matter of seconds.
And if that doesn’t work, there are some other ways of sorting it out instead.
You may not have realised that someone Fire TV remote controls have built-in ringers.
This is your first option, and it’s easily the most effective.
For this to work, you’ll need an Amazon Alexa Voice Remote Pro.
And it needs to be already be paired with a Fire TV, otherwise you’re out of luck.
As well as that, you’ll need to have registered it to the same account that your Alexa is linked to.
Your remote will need to be within 30 feet of the paired Fire TV – and have enough battery life to boot.
If all of those boxes are ticked, you’ll be able to track down your TV remote.
The easiest way is to just ask Alexa by saying “Alexa, find my remote”.
You can do this in the Alexa app on your smartphone, with your Fire TV app, or any other Alexa-friendly device that you have.
Alternatively, you can press the Remote Finder icon that’s in the Remote tab of your Fire TV app on a smartphone.
With either of these triggers, your Alexa Voice Remote Pro will start to ring for up to five minutes.
Don’t panic if it doesn’t start right away – it can take about 30 seconds for it to start.
Once you track it down, press a button on the remote to stop the ringing.
WHAT IS THE ALEX VOICE REMOTE PRO?
Here are the official specs from Amazon...
- “Alexa, find my remote.”
- Backlit for your convenience
- Two customizable buttons
- Dedicated headphone button
- Integrated TV controls
- Press and ask Alexa
- Compatible with most Fire TV streaming media players, Amazon Fire TV smart TVs, and smart TVs with Fire TV built-in
If you want to make it easier to find next time, make sure that you’ve got Voice Commands When TV Screen Is Off turned on in your settings.
And ensure that your Fire Stick is getting its juice from a power outlet.
That way, you can ask your TV to find the remote even if it’s switched off.
NO PRO? YOU’RE STILL OK
Of course many Fire Stick owners will have the regular remote – and not a fancy Pro version.
The bad news is that there’s no hi-tech way to track this remote control down.
But there is an alternative that lets you still watch telly: the smartphone app.
You can just download the Amazon Fire TV app and link it to your Fire TV or Fire Stick.
That way you’ll be able to control your TV just as easily as you would’ve with a remote.
In fact, it might even be easier – as you’re probably less likely to lose your smartphone.
The app also makes it significantly easier to enter text on the screen.
And if you don’t have voice search on your current remote, you can use it on the app instead.
On top of that, it’s very easy and fast to locate apps and games inside the app.
GREAT SKY-DEA!
TV rival Sky has also come up with a very similar way of tracking down lost remotes.
If you’ve lost your Sky Q remote, you can simply push the big Q logo on the front of your box.
This is actually a button and will cause your TV remote to start beeping.
It’ll ring for about 30 seconds, which should be plenty of time to find it.
There are just a few catches: the remote needs battery life and must be in range of the Sky box, for a start.
As well as that, the trick only works with main Sky Q boxes, and not the Sky Q Mini.

Wrexham sign one-cap former England star whose goal denied Man Utd a Premier League title
WREXHAM have signed Burnley’s Jay Rodriguez as they target a third-successive promotion.
The 35-year-old former England striker has penned an 18-month deal with the League One side.
Rodriguez has spent more than a decade with the Clarets over two spells.
He grew up in the town and has netted 76 goals since making his debut in 2007.
Wrexham have brought the striker to North Wales as they look to continue their push for Championship football.
Rodriguez told the club’s website: “I’m made up to join the Club. I can’t wait to get out on the training pitch and meet everyone.
“I hope I can use my experience to help every single player in the squad and gain something from the group as well.
“To join the story that has evolved at Wrexham with clear targets is exciting for me.”
Rodriguez arrives at Wrexham with vast experiences having played over 550 career games.
He won his sole England cap against Chile in 2013.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Wrexham boss Phil Parkison added: “I’m delighted to welcome Jay Rodriguez to the Club.
“He’s an experienced striker with real quality and we’re looking forward to working with him.”
Rodriguez is also remembered by Manchester United fans for being the player who denied them the Premier League title in 2018.
The forward netted for West Brom at Old Trafford, sealing a 1-0 win for the Baggies and making Man City champions.
How Ryan Reynolds has been watching Wrexham games in style
CO-OWNER Ryan Reynolds hasn't been able to make it to Wrexham in recent weeks due to filming commitments.
But that hasn’t stopped him from watching his team in style.
Streaming the match on a laptop or even a TV was not grand enough for the Deadpool star as he worked on the set of his latest movie.
With a giant green screen behind him, he could not resist broadcasting Wrexham’s recent game on to the huge projector.
Reynolds and his crew watched on as the Welsh side notched their 23rd win of the season against Crawley Town.
He looked enamoured as the game played on behind him while surrounding by various pieces of Hollywood machinery.
And Reynolds captioned the moment: “Watching the Wrexham game at work: new level unlocked.”
It’s not clear what project Reynolds was working on at the time, with the actor currently developing several new movies including sequels to smash hits Free Guy and Red Notice.
Wrexham are currently third in League One, six points behind Wycombe in the automatic promotions spots.
They have won back-to-back promotions, with Hollywood duo Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds bankrolling the club’s rise back up the leagues.
