Kalou suspended by Hertha after ignoring coronavirus safety rules in video

Hertha Berlin have suspended striker Salomon Kalou after he posted a video online in which he breaks social distancing rules.

Kalou has since deleted the video showing him disobeying many of the German football league's (DFL) safety measures upon his return to training with Hertha.

Kalou entered the locker room and said hello to some of his team-mates by offering to shake hands. He also walks in to see defender Jordan Torunarigha being tested for Covid-19 and then ignores the doctor's request that he leave the room.
