His statement comes after Chelsea winger, Callum Hudson-Odoi who recovered from Coronavirus back in March, was arrested for allegedly breaching lockdown rules and involving in a row with a model he had invited to his home.
Manchescity City’s Kyle Walker and Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish are among players who have broken the lockdown rules.
Taking to his Twitter handle this afternoon, Piers Morgan wrote: ‘These idiots unfairly tarnish the reputations of all footballers, and make a mockery of the ‘safety first’ plan to bring back the Premier League.
‘They should be told if they get caught breaking lockdown rules like this, they’re banned from playing if football restarts.’
