Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount defied his club’s self-isolation protocols amid the coronavirus outbreak to play football in a London public park along with West Ham's Declan Rice, sources have told ESPN.

First reported in the Mirror on Monday, England internationals Mount and Rice were seen playing a five-a-side match at the Trent Park Football centre near Barnet on Sunday. ESPN sources described the incident as a casual game between friends.

Cheslea’s players and staff have been instructed to stay in self-isolation after winger Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for the virus last week.

Mount and his Chelsea teammates have subsequently been reminded about the club’s self-isolation protocols following the incident, sources told ESPN.

The majority of West Ham players and staff have not been instructed to go into self-isolation, although the east London club said last week that individuals who came into direct contact with opposing manager Mikel Arteta during their clash with Arsenal are self-isolating, after the Spanish boss tested positive for the virus last week.
