Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden are caught bringing girls back to England team hotel in Iceland, breaking strict quarantine rules, as Man United and City debutants risk their places in Gareth Southgate’s squad
- Mason Greenwood, 18, and Phil Foden, 20, are in hot water with England
- Young pair both made their senior debuts against Iceland on Saturday night
- They have been caught bringing girls back to England’s team hotel in Iceland
- Foden has a two-year-old son and is in a long-term relationship, while Mason Greenwood broke up with his girlfriend back in May
England youngsters Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood could face disciplinary action after footage emerged of the pair allegedly bringing girls back to the team hotel in Iceland.
The pair made their senior international debuts in the win over Iceland on Saturday – but those accomplishments have now been overshadowed.
Players have been given strict guidelines to ensure Covid safety – and the images – who have been published by Icelandic outlet DV – appears to show Foden and Greenwood disregard those protocols.

The pair’s conduct in allegedly bringing girls back is also likely to have contravened the FA’s behavioural rules for players whilst on international duty.
In the short clip, Foden and Greenwood appear to be wearing their new England training wear and the players are now likely to be in hot water with management.
Foden has a two-year-old son and a long-term girlfriend, while United star Greenwood broke up with his model girlfriend back in May.
Manchester City midfielder Foden started for Gareth Southgate’s side against Iceland on Saturday night, making his senior international debut, while Greenwood came off the bench to achieve the same accolade.
While the pair would have been looking ahead to England’s next fixture against Denmark in Copenhagen on Tuesday night, they will now leave Iceland under a dark cloud.
The pair were both absent from England training on Monday and it is as yet unclear whether they will face any punishment by the Football Association.
England boss Gareth Southgate is set to face the media for a press conference on Monday afternoon, where he is likely to field questions about Foden and Greenwood’s behaviour.

In an interview with DV, one of the girls in the Snapchat video allegedly filmed in the hotel room said: ‘We had no idea about these [Covid-19] rules, they never said we could not take pictures.’
Another girl claimed to have notified the England stars that the pictures were in circulation with a Snapchat message, but ‘they have not opened it’.
She also claimed to have been in a relationship ‘with one of the boys for a few days’, noting: ‘The only thing I can say is that I had been talking to one of them for a few days. I’m not going to say where.’
