It's starting to do a lot for Serge Aurier. The Tottenham defender is said to have broken the strict distancing rules required in England for the third time. His club has opened an internal investigation.

Aurier posted a photo on Instagram on Tuesday showing him alongside his hairdresser, Justin Carr, sporting a new haircut. The players are supposed to have no contact with people outside their family circle.

"We are investigating the circumstances and will consider the incident appropriately," Tottenham said in a statement on Wednesday. Aurier reacted to these new criticisms, once again on Instagram: "Bla-bla-bla", he wrote in a new message, followed by several emojis. "My hairdresser is negative (with coronavirus) and I too, so stop talking in a vacuum and put on masks and gloves when you come to take pictures at the training center, that is also part of the rules".

Two precedents, already…

Aurier is not for the first time: in late April, the former PSG defender had posted a video on his Instagram account where we saw him, mask on his face, do short sprints and then sit next to his teammate Moussa Sissoko, without respecting safety distance. The two players apologized in a statement and made a donation to the UK healthcare system.

Two weeks earlier, this same Aurier had already filmed himself jogging side by side with a friend. The 27-year-old Ivorian arrived on Wednesday at Spurs training camp in Enfield, where players coached by Jose Mourinho - who himself broke the rules by meeting several of his disrespectful players in a park in early April distances - had to train once the result of their Covid-19 test was known.
