MANCHESTER CITY and England defender Kyle Walker celebrated Halloween by dressing up as the Spice Girls with wife Annie Kilner.
The right-back, 32, is currently sidelined following groin surgery and is in a race to be fit for the World Cup later this month.
But he took some time out from rehab to enjoy a night of dress up for Halloween.
Walker went as Spice Girl Mel B as he hilariously donned a wig and leopard print dress for the occasion.
He was joined by partner Annie who took up the role of Geri Halliwell with her famous Union Jack outfit.
Annie’s sister, Sian, went as Victoria Beckham, while former Manchester City and Tottenham midfielder Michael Brown assumed the part of Mel C.
And Brown’s wife Ela rounded off the five-piece as she went as Emma Bunton.
Alongside the picture posted on Instagram, Walker added the caption: “Spice up your life ð¤ ð.”
It is currently unknown whether Walker will be fit for the World Cup – with England‘s first game against Iran coming in just three weeks.
Speaking after the surgery at the beginning of October, he said: “As players we have to appreciate injuries are part and parcel of the game we love.

“My operation on Tuesday was a success and now I can concentrate on my rehab and getting back to full fitness.
“I will be supporting my team mates every day in any way I can. Once again thank you for all your kind messages.”
Prior to going under the knife, Walker’s manager Pep Guardiola remained coy about his chances of making the tournament.
The Spaniard said: “It’s something abdominal and he will be a while out.
“I don’t know [how long]. I cannot say anything else. We have to speak to the doctors. Hopefully he can get back like Kalvin [Phillips].
“I know how important the World Cup is for the players but honestly I don’t know right now.”
Walker is not the only England right-back attempting to recover from an injury in time for the World Cup.
Chelsea defender Reece James is also in a fitness race after sustaining a knee injury last month.
