He realizes the responsibility he has as a professional sportsperson and understands he is a role model. Furthermore, he says his actions were in direct contrast to what he should have been doing. Furthermore, the British International reiterated the message of stay home, stay safe.?

In addition to Walker, Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish too was spotted outdoors hours during the lockdown. The 24-year old apologized and was fined. Hence, it seems as though Walker is heading for the same sanction.?
The English Premier League ceased to play on the thirteenth of March. The FA said the leagues would return on the 30th of April. However, their statement on the third of April revealed that the games will resume only when the situation drastically improves. It will prove to be an agonizing wait for fans and players alike and one hopes that there isn’t any more news of players disregarding official restrictions.?
The Premier League?s overriding priority is to aid the health and wellbeing of the nation and our communities. The 2019/20 season will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so.
