Roy Keane Addresses Kyle Walker's Decline

Football pundit Roy Keane has attributed Kyle Walker's decline in form at Manchester City to off-field personal issues, particularly his ongoing struggles to save his marriage to Annie Kilner. Walker, a key player for City and the England national team, has faced challenges that coincide with the club's difficult season, leading him to seek opportunities to play abroad, with both Milan clubs reportedly interested. Keane emphasized that personal problems can significantly affect a player's performance, stating, 'It takes its toll on you.' He expressed concern about Walker's choice to leave mid-season while the team is struggling, suggesting that it reflects a deeper issue with his ability to cope at the club. The situation has prompted discussions about a potential loan to Italy that could evolve into a permanent deal. Keane's comments highlight the broader impact of personal challenges on professional sports performance.
