Mason Mount apologises to Chelsea over coronavirus breach
Tuesday 17 March 2020 21:25, UK
Mason Mount has apologised to Chelsea bosses for playing football in public when he was meant to be self-isolating due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The England midfielder was spotted with West Ham star and best friend Declan Rice at a football centre near Barnet on Sunday.
Chelsea's players have been following government guidelines to self-isolate after Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for coronavirus last week.
The Blues' Cobham training ground will remain closed while the squad and staff are in self-isolation, with training potentially resuming in the week beginning March 23.
Mount is understood to have been reminded of his responsibilities by Chelsea, but the 21-year-old has also phoned Chelsea chiefs to apologise.

Rice was not under the same restrictions from West Ham as his England team-mate Mount.
