Man City boss Pep Guardiola speaks out after Kyle Walker filmed 'flashing' in bar
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has addressed the allegations against Kyle Walker for the first time ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Crystal Palace. Walker allegedly exposed himself publicly in a pub last weekend and is being investigated.
Guardiola spoke to the media ahead of the clash at Selhurst Park and, unsurprisingly, answered questions about his right-back.
The Catalan coach replied: "It's a private issue. We are solving it internally, [and] talking with him. This is not the place to talk about a private situation."
When asked if his players should be more careful when out in public, Guardiola added: "Yes, definitely [it's] completely different from years ago.
>"They know it. When you open the door to the house, they must know that they will be filmed no matter what they do. It's society."
Walker is said to have disputed the allegations made against him and returned to training as normal after a two-day break following Man City's 2-0 win over Newcastle United last Saturday.
After the triumph at the Etihad Stadium, the 32-year-old reportedly spent 90 minutes at a bar in Wilmslow with a group of friends.

Security footage released Wednesday shows Walker jokingly flirting with a woman in his group.
He then appeared to flash a band member twice either side of kissing a woman while seated in a booth before leaving the venue.
Walker's wife Annie was apparently not part of the entourage, and Cheshire Police are investigating the father of four over the incident.
He remains in contention for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, where City can close the gap to Arsenal to two points.
The Gunners then face a potentially tricky London derby against Fulham at Craven Cottage, which will involve additional pressure if Guardiola's side win again.
