JAKARTA - The Premier League continues to display violations during the national lockdown period. After Aston Vila captain Jack Grealish partied and had a traffic accident, then Manchester City defender Kyle Walker held a sex party, now there is Jose Mourinho and some of his players who don't adhere to social distancing rules.

However, the violations committed by the Tottenham squad had nothing to do with parties or prostitution. According to the Skysports report, Wednesday, April 8, in several photos spread on social media Twitter, they were seen practicing in Hadley Common, north London with close proximity to each other.

The Premier League has been suspended since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic. The government instructs people to stay at home except for buying food, for health reasons or for jobs that cannot be done at home.

Individuals are still allowed to walk outside or exercise once a day if they comply with social distancing rules, which means everyone must be more than two meters away unless they are from the same house.

However, it can be seen in the pictures spread on social media that a number of Spurs players are not complying with the isolation rules.

Mourinho was seen overseeing midfielder Ndombele's training at Hadley Common, where they are believed to have only trained together although two more were seen.

Davinson Sanchez and Ryan Sessegnon were seen doing training and running together at Barnet park, north London. Spurs right-back Serge Aurier also posted a video of himself jogging with other people.

The Spurs themselves have stressed for their players to comply with government regulations.

"All of our players have been reminded to respect social distancing when engaging in outdoor sports activities," said a club spokesman.
