Six professionals from four clubs
Footballers celebrate despite the ban on contact

The corona situation is serious in Great Britain, in many places private meetings of several households are currently not allowed. Nevertheless, party photos of several footballers from the English Premier League appear. Their clubs react clearly.

Half a dozen Premier League players have trouble with their own clubs after violating the Corona rules. Tottenham Hotspur reacted "very disappointed" and league rivals West Ham United "disappointed" to a party photo on social media showing Spurs professionals Erik Lamela, Sergio Reguilon and Giovani Lo Celso and Hammers player Manuel Lanzini.

Both clubs said that all players were "strictly" reminded of the requirements. In addition, the professionals were probably fined, Tottenham had previously announced an "internal review" and tweeted: "The rules are clear, there are no exceptions." Reguilon was on the bench in Spurs' league game on Saturday against newly promoted Leeds United (3-0), but was not used. Lamela and Lo Celso (thigh injury) were not in the squad.

Lanzini came on as a substitute for the Hammers 1-0 at Everton on Friday. He tweeted about the allegations that he made a "bad mistake" and wrote, "I should be a better role model." West Ham also announced that Lanzini had been "strictly reminded of his responsibilities".

Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic and Luka Milivojevic from Crystal Palace are also threatened. Both players are said to have attended the same New Year's Eve party, according to media reports. However, under the current restrictions, a private gathering of several households is not allowed. Fulham confirmed to the BBC that it was investigating the incident.

Fulham's scheduled encounter at Burnley FC on Sunday had to be canceled due to further corona cases in the club. The Cottagers' game at Tottenham, which was scheduled for last Wednesday, had already been postponed after the first cases.
