Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola reacted to right-back Kyle Walker's alleged sexual assault charge. A video of Walker recently emerged on social media where the full-back can be seen exposing his private parts in a bar and touching a woman in an inappropriate manner.
Guardiola was recently quizzed about the incident. The Spanish manager claimed that it was a private situation between the club and Walker and he was unwilling to discuss it publicly.
Guardiola said (via Manchester Evening News):
"A private issue. We solve it internally with him. This is not the place to discuss private issues."

When further asked if players need to be more careful in today's world, Guardiola said:
"Yeah definitely, completely different from years ago, They know it. When you open the door at home they need to know they will be filmed whatever they do. That is society."
Walker has been a crucial player for the Cityzens this season, making 21 appearances. Since joining Manchester City in 2017, the defender has made 236 appearances for them.
