Kyle Walker cut holiday short to fight for his Manchester City spot

LONDON -- Kyle Walker was desperate for another winners' medal, which is why he cut short his holiday to came back to training early for Manchester City.

The defender was back for preseason at the Etihad Campus just two weeks after playing a major part in England's run to the World Cup semifinals.

And he played 90 minutes as City secured their first silverware of the season on Sunday via the Community Shield victory over Chelsea, with the former Tottenham full-back admitting he's fearful of losing his place in a squad full of talent.

"This is a title, and I have not won many, so to not be a part of this would have been stupid for me to not want to come back," Walker told reporters.
