Greenwood, Foden facing 4-match England ban

Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood and Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden face being ignored for England's next four games.

The Sun says the pair arrived back in Manchester on Monday night amid reports they will miss England's next four matches.

The Three Lions pair broke coronavirus guidelines by inviting two Icelandic girls to their team hotel whilst on international duty.

The young stars, who had both made their debuts in the win over Iceland on Saturday, were sent home ahead of England's game against Denmark on Tuesday and will also be kept out of the squad matches against Wales, Belgium and Denmark again next month as punishment.

Icelandic police have now fined the duo 250,000 Icelandic Krona (£1,300) for the rule breach during the coronavirus pandemic, which must be paid by the individuals themselves and not by the FA or their clubs.
