England - Foden & Greenwood Sent Home

They’re young. But they should’ve known better.

How could you not with all the information flying around regarding pandemic procedures?
Manchester City’s Phil Foden (20) and Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood (18) have been required to leave the England camp after an “unacceptable” breach of coronavirus quarantine guidelines in Iceland, where the Three Lions won 1-0 on Saturday.

Both youngsters made their England senior debuts in the game.

According to BBC Sport, Manager Gareth Southgate said they had been “naive” and had apologized.

A Reykjavik Metropolitan Police spokesperson told BBC Sport that both players were fined 250,000 Icelandic krona ($2,350CAD).
