WHAT HAPPENED?
Walker left Manchester City on a six-month loan deal to AC Milan during the January transfer window having fallen out of favour and form.

Walker has made five appearances for Milan since his move. However, he had his lowest moment for the Serie A side during their clash against Verona on Saturday as head coach Sergio Conceicao subbed him off at half-time for Alex Jimenez.
