Mason Mount 'faces major dressing down' from Chelsea for playing 5-a-side with West Ham's Declan Rice when he is meant to be in self-isolation after team-mate Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for coronavirus

Chelsea star Mason Mount has risked the wrath of boss Frank Lampard after being spotted playing 5-a-side with West Ham's Declan Rice when he was supposed to be in self-isolation amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Blues sent players and staff home and closed the training ground after winger Callum Hudson-Odoi became the first Premier League player to test positive for the virus last week.

The entire squad were told to self-isolate in line with government health guidelines.
