Kyle Walker reunites with family before AC Milan debut

Former Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has reunited with his estranged wife Annie and their four children in Milan, ahead of his expected debut for AC Milan. The 34-year-old England international is likely to make his first appearance for the Italian club in Sunday’s Milan derby against Inter.

Walker’s family, including wife Annie, 31, and their children Roman (12), Riaan (9), Reign (7) and baby Rezon, flew by private jet from Manchester to Milan on Friday. They were seen arriving at the five-star Melia Milano hotel where Walker has been staying since joining AC Milan on loan.

The defender looked delighted to be reunited with his family after a turbulent period in his personal life. Walker and Annie have been estranged, with Annie filing for divorce last August after revelations about Walker fathering a child with another woman. However, the family appeared in good spirits as they enjoyed a meal together at the hotel.

Walker chose the number 32 shirt at AC Milan, the same number previously worn by David Beckham during his time at the club. The England star is aiming to reach 100 caps for his country and hopes his move to Milan will boost his chances of being selected for next year’s World Cup.

Sunday’s Milan derby at the San Siro stadium will be a major occasion for Walker as he begins the next chapter of his career in Italy. After eight trophy-laden years at Manchester City, he now faces a new challenge in Serie A as he looks to make an impact for AC Milan.
