Kyle Walker has, over the years, developed into a good right-back for England. He is defensively efficient, likes to slide in and has got great speed. His attacking play, especially his crosses, have vastly improved.

He likes to join the attack and is equally good at tracking back, when the possession of the ball is lost. Having represented England in 35 matches, he is one of the experienced defenders in the current English side.

In their first game against Tunisia at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, England had deployed Walker as a right centre-back in their 5-3-2 formation. He will be responsible for covering for the right wing-back Trippier during Panama's counter-attacks. His experience will guide the other English center-backs Stones and Maguire.
