England football stars break coronavirus rules again as Chilwell, Abraham and Sancho attend party

England’s football stars have landed themselves in hot water again after Jadon Sancho, Ben Chilwell and Tammy Abraham attended a party on Saturday night with more than six people.  

The trio were at Abraham’s mansion in London celebrating the Chelsea forward’s birthday with around 20 friends and family, just two days before meeting up with the England squad ahead of Thursday’s friendly against Wales, as reported by The Sun. 

The incident is another headache for England manager Gareth Southgate after Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden broke strict coronavirus rules last month in Iceland, and the three players may now have put their national team-mates in danger by ignoring the ‘group of six’ regulations.

As per the report in The Sun, one reveller said: ‘It was a great party. We wanted to do something nice for his birthday. But maybe we didn’t think it through.’ 

The FA examined footage and have said: ‘There will be no change to the England team at this stage.’ 

Last week, manager Southgate said: ‘I guess what I would say is that players who have worked with us for a long time know how we operate and know that we won’t duck decisions.

‘What we found in the last camp was lots of new players coming in so I think that maybe as a reminder when you have got lots of new players that you have to be a little more… not assuming that people are going to understand how you work and pick it up from the rest of the group.

‘In what we are dealing with at the moment the interaction with the group is more difficult.

‘Players are not allowed to sit so long together and chat.

‘It’s hard for senior players to mentor younger ones in quite the same way because we are having to sit in masks all the time, we can only sit together for 15 minutes.
