Alli, Maddison shun COVID-19 rules to party in Spain

Tottenham’s Dele Alli, James Maddison and Jack Grealish broke the COVID-19 rules as they were spotted cooling off with friends in Ibiza.

The trio flew to Spain after the end of the English Premier League season.

But instead of practicing social distancing, the players were seen drinking beers by the beach on the Spanish party island.

Tottenham midfielder Alli sported a red cap, black trunks and circular glasses, Leicester’s Maddison opted for red
swimming shorts and Grealish, of Aston Villa, donned a black hat and white pants.

They soaked up the rays on sun loungers on the beach as they knocked back a beer and relaxed with a group of mates on the Balearic Island.

Travel advice on the Foreign Office website says social distancing and other safety measures should be ‘observed
at all times’ in public spaces in Spain.

Spain was put on the UK’s quarantine list and it is evident that the players would have to go into isolation
once they return to the UK.

Grealish has previously been slammed for ignoring government advice during the pandemic, with the winger crashing his £70,000 Range Rover after attending a party at ex-team-mate Ross McCormack’s flat in March.

Alli also came under fire during lockdown when he mocked an Asian man over Covid-19 in February. Both players, who are idolised by millions of youngsters across the country, issued grovelling apologies and were fined.

While all three appeared to be in good spirits, Maddison was seen sporting a bandage on his left hip following recent surgery.

The 23-year-old missed the end of the Foxes season, which saw them surrender a top-four spot on the final day, to treat a persistent tendon issue.

Alli played his part in helping Spurs secure European football for next season after he recovered from a hamstring injury. He came on as an 80th-minute substitute against Crystal Palace in the 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park.
