Kyle Walker, currently on loan from Manchester City to AC Milan, sees no relaxation in a difficult season as he was substituted at half-time during AC Milan’s match against Hellas Verona.
The 34-year-old made a move to Serie A on a six-month loan deal in January, seeking to regain his form and make a positive impact after finding himself out of favour at Manchester City. Walker has expressed optimism that this transition to a new environment will help him focus on his football career while also moving past personal life problems involving his wife, Annie Kilner, and mistress Lauryn Goodman.

Kyle Walker performs on Triple H's theme
During the match, Kyle entertained the fans in the stadium by spraying water from his mouth, a move reminiscent of 14-time WWE Champion Triple H that he performed during his entry into the ring. Interestingly, Triple H's entry theme, "I'm the Game," was also played while Kyle sprayed water.
Walker has made five appearances for Milan since his transfer, but his performance reached a low point during the match against Verona on Saturday. Head coach Sergio Conceicao decisively substituted him at half-time, bringing on Alex Jimenez in his place.
Jimenez stepped in for Walker and made a significant contribution to Santiago Gimenez's winning goal in the 75th minute, delivering a brilliantly placed ball to Rafael Leao, who then set up the Mexican striker.
As Milan prepares for the second leg of their Champions League play-off against Feyenoord this midweek, they are focused on overcoming a 1-0 deficit. It will be interesting to see if Walker is included in the starting lineup, especially considering his challenging matchup against winger Igor Paixao in the first leg.
