Chelsea’s Mason Mount defies self-isolation protocol

Mason Mount, a Chelsea player has defied the club’s self-isolation protocols for coronavirus, as he was spotted playing at a football park along with West Ham’s Declan Rice on Sunday.

Chelsea had asked their first-team players and coaching staff to self-isolate after winger Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for the coronavirus last week.

Mount and Rice, both England internationals, played a five-a-side game at the Trent Park Football centre near Barnet.

Chelsea players are expected to resume training on March 22 and 23 only when they are out of isolation.
