England football young guns Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden have been fined and kicked out of the English national team squad, after a serious breach of COVID-19 restrictions. The Manchester pair were caught smuggling two Icelandic models into their hotel hub, while on duty against Iceland this week.
The pair were sent back to England in disgrace after one of the models posted a Snapchat video of the English players together in their hotel room. Greenwood and Foden received their first international caps in the 1-0 over Iceland. Greenwood has been forced to train in isolation from his Manchester United teammates after returning home. Foden and Greenwood were fined
$2,461 USD each by Reykjavik police.
England manager Gareth Southgate expressed his disappointment in the pair as news of the COVID breach broke. “Two boys have broken COVID guidance in terms of our secure bubble, so we have had to decide very quickly that they won’t have any contact with the team.”
