Kyle Walker claims move to AC Milan from Man City was 'selfish'

Kyle Walker has admitted that he never should have left Manchester City to go on loan to AC Milan last season, criticising his own decision as ‘selfish’. The English defender made the six-month switch to the Italian giants in January and, looking back, believes it was the wrong move to make at the time, given City had been uncharacteristically struggling under Pep Guardiola.

Liverpool leave Isak out of squad to face Burnley

Alexander Isak's debut has been delayed as Liverpool left the new signing out of their matchday squad to face Burnley on Sunday amid the striker's fitness concerns. Isak, who joined Liverpool for a British record £125m fee on deadline day, hardly trained during pre-season with Newcastle. Arne Slot named the same starting lineup that beat Arsenal in their last game.
