Eberechi Eze made Crystal Palace’s starting line-up for their Premier League encounter against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday despite his Covid-19 breach.
Eze attended his former club, QPR’s FA Cup tie with Fulham on Saturday and failed to wear a mask, he was also pictured with only one seat between him and another person in the directors’ box at Loftus Road.
Palace boss, Roy Hodgson believed Eze showed “naivety” when he became the latest footballer to breach coronavirus protocols but he said the playmaker was free to face Arsenal after being fined.
The 22-year-old in the process made his eleventh start in 16 Premier League appearances against Arsenal.
