Brilliant video shows Robbie Keane and Jonathan Walters playing football tennis with Kyle Walker

Manchester City and England star Kyle Walker took to social media to post a video of a friendly game of head tennis involving Ireland's Robbie Keane and Jonathan Walters.

The right-back has been enjoying some downtime after England's Euro 2020 exit and along with the likes of Keane, Walters and Bobby Zamora, he has recently spent time in Spain as part of the Football Escapes soccer camps for children.

However it was clear that in addition to teaching the next generation, the group were keen on keeping their own skills sharp and Walker's video displayed some fine touches from our former Boys In Green.

On opposite sides of a four-versus-four head tennis game, Walters and Keane had a solid exchange which Keane ultimately won.

Ex-Stoke striker Walters could be seen returning the ball with a downward header that was dealt with by Keane's team.

The following couple of flicks on Keane's side brought the ball just up to the net on the same side and the former Tottenham Hotspur man followed it all the way.

It looked as though he might slam a header into the ground from point-blank range, but instead he gently chested the ball nonchalantly across the net and won the point for his team.
