Mason Mount has issued an apology to Chelsea bosses after ignoring self-isolation guidelines by playing football with England team-mate Declan Rice.
The midfielder was spotted at a football centre near Barnet on Sunday, despite Chelsea following government self-isolation advice after Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for Coronavirus last week.
A number of Premier League clubs have been in isolation since the outbreak of the virus, with Arsenal posting training pictures of their players working from home.
Mount is understood to have been reminded of his responsibilities, with the 21-year-old speaking to the members of the Chelsea hierarchy over the phone to make an apology.
Midfielder Rice has not been placed into self-isolation, despite West Ham manager David Moyes and a number of staff members isolating for seven days after coming into contact with Mikel Arteta.
The Premier League is currently suspended until April 3 at the earliest, with Premier League officials to meet on Thursday to discuss the next steps.
Chelsea are due to return to their Surrey training centre on March 23, the base currently subject of regular deep cleans in the meantime.
