England bosses are joining forces together to ensure Kyle Walker‘s ex-lover Lauryn Goodman does not become a distraction at the upcoming Euros – after she raised the prospect of attending games with their children.
According to Goodman, Kyle promised their four-year-old son Kairo tickets – something he denied – but now insiders say FA chiefs will go to every possible length to stop her accessing tickets.
What the Source Said
A source said: ‘Lauryn has been saying she will be at the games this summer because Kyle promised their son tickets, but that sets off massive alarm bells for the squad’s team behind the scenes.
‘There are special seating areas at each of the matches which are allocated to players and staff for their families and friends, and quite often those tickets get passed on and shared around between those close to the team – and there’s no doubt Kyle’s wife Annie will be there with their kids.
What Lauryn Thinks
‘But Lauryn has been saying she will get hold of some tickets and go along too which would cause massive problems.
The source continued: ‘There’s no way any will be issued directly to her the way things are currently, but she could try to get them by another means or through friends within the game – she knows a lot of players and football agents.

Why England FA Will Block Her
‘The manager and the team need total focus on the games. Any distraction will be totally clamped down on. Everything in their power, they will do it. Nobody wants a circus ruining their chances.’
The attendance of the squad’s wives and girlfriends has become a much discussed fixture of major tournaments since the infamous 2016 World Cup in Baden-Baden, where A-list partners including Victoria Beckham, Coleen Rooney and Becky Vardy were all pictured out on the town together.
It has sparked much debate over whether families being at tournaments with the team can pose a distraction for the players, with different England managers taking their own stance on how much time they should spend with their partners and kids while on national duty.
However Kyle’s long-suffering wife Annie, 30, who recently gave birth to their fourth child together just nine months after his second child with Lauryn was born, will be in attendance with their children.
