    Walker faces spell out after elbow surgery

    AC Milan defender Kyle Walker is set for a spell on the sidelines following surgery on a fractured elbow.

    The 34-year-old England international sustained the injury during training and has subsequently had an operation.

    “To ensure better healing and optimise recovery time, the player underwent surgery in Milan,” the Serie A club said in a statement, external on their website.

    “The operation went perfectly to plan. Kyle will begin rehabilitation immediately.”

    Walker moved to Milan in January on loan until the end of the season after falling out of favour under Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

    He has made 12 appearances in all competitions for the Rossoneri, who are currently ninth in Serie A but in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

    Milan’s deal for Walker includes an option to buy the right-back when his loan deal comes to an end.

    Kyle Walker’s wife to ‘put things behind’ after husband’s move to AC Milan

    Kyle Walker’s wife, Annie Kilner, has expressed her readiness to embrace life in Italy following her husband’s loan transfer from Manchester City to AC Milan.

    Serious doubts once clouded their marriage after Walker, an England international, fathered two children with former Love Island contestant Lauryn Goodman.

    Kilner reportedly initiated divorce proceedings at one point. However, the couple spent Christmas together, signaling efforts to rebuild their bond.

    Now, they are stepping away from the Premier League’s intense spotlight.

    Walker, already in Italy, is preparing to join Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah at San Siro. His family will join him once formalities like securing a work permit are completed.

    A source told the Daily Mail, “This is a good opportunity to put things behind them and make a go of it as a family unit. It will be a challenge in a new country, but they are willing to give it a go.”

    Kyle Walker reportedly hopes to don the No.32 jersey, famously worn by David Beckham during his loan stint with the Rossoneri.

    Although he cannot play in the Champions League group stage, his Milan debut might coincide with a highly anticipated derby against Inter on February 2.
