Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has taken to social media to deny performing a Nazi salute in a team photo.
As the Associated Press reported (h/t ESPN FC), Eagles midfielder Max Meyer posted an Instagram story of the team having dinner, and the image appeared to show Hennessey performing the salute.
The Wales international denied making the gesture, however:
Wayne Hennesseymoment by the camera this looks like I am making a completely inappropriate type of salute. I can assure everyone I would never ever do that and any resemblance to that kind of gesture is absolutely coincidental.
