Tottenham players Serge Aurier and Moussa Sissoko have apologised after posting videos of themselves training together on Instagram, in breach of government guidelines.
The videos, which have since been deleted, appeared on Aurier’s Instagram story and showed him running shuttles and sitting next to Sissoko, disregarding social distancing.
“We recognise that as professional footballers we have a responsibility to be role models, particularly during this uncertain period that everyone around the world is facing. We wish to apologise for not setting the right example here,” the pair said in a joint statement.
“We must all respect the government advice to minimise the number of lives lost during this pandemic.
“We cannot thank NHS staff enough for their tireless work at this time and we shall both be making a financial donation to show our support for their efforts.”
It comes little over a fortnight after Spurs hit the headlines after boss Jose Mourinho was pictured holding a one-on-one training session in north London with midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
