Schalke 04 star Harit fined after breaking coronavirus curfew

Schalke 04 midfielder Amine Harit has been hit with a fine by the club after he was caught in a shisha bar when the German government imposed a curfew to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

Harit was caught by the police alongside 10 other people in a bar in Essen over a week ago, during a period when the government ordered residents to avoid social gatherings.

Following the incident, Schalke's head of sport Jochcen Schneider said the Morocco international felt sorry for his actions and has realised his mistakes.
