The Athletic have revealed that Tottenham Hotspur have fined Erik Lamela, Giovani Lo Celso and Sergio Reguilon after the trio were pictured together at a Christmas party.
The three players, along with West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini, were pictured in one house with eleven other adults, two children and a baby.
That was a clear violation of the lockdown rules which prohibits households in tier four from mixing in London.
When the news first came to light, Tottenham released a statement condemning their players’ antics and reminded them of their responsibilities.
Jose Mourinho also admitted that he was disappointed in their actions, revealing that he had presented a Portuguese piglet to Reguilon since he thought the defender would be spending Christmas alone.
The Athletic reveal that all three have now received a slap on the wrist by the club and that the Metropolitan Police had been made aware of the incident.
A spokesperson said in relation to the breach that: “We remind all Londoners that it is up to all of us to make the right choices in order to slow the spread of the virus.”
