SAN FRANCISCO, June 05, (THEWILL) – The German Football Association has fined Borussia Dortmund, Manuel Akanji and Jadon Sancho for breaching Germany’s rule to curtail the spread of the coronavirus when they had a haircut in their homes without both and their barbers wearing any personal protective equipment (PPE).
Sancho, according to reports, described the fine as an “absolute joke”.
A statement from the German league (DFL) on Friday afternoon said: “The DFL has fined Manuel Akanji and Jadon Sancho. The players from Borussia Dortmund had obviously violated general hygiene and infection protection standards at home hairdressing appointments and in particular the medical-organisational concept of the DFL task force.
“There is no question that professional footballers also have to have their hair cut. However, this currently has to be done in accordance with the medical-organisational concept.”
