Chelsea defender Thiago Silva could be in some trouble after he broke COVID-19 protocols during their game against Fulham.

After the game, Silva threw his shirt to a construction worker at the Craven Cottage stadium.

The defender may have to face a Premier League disciplinary board after this clear breach of regulations, where players are asked to socially distance when possible.

Swapping shirts is one of the prohibited activities, not least throwing a shirt into the stands for someone to grab.

What remains to be seen is whether Silva will get a warning, fine, or a suspension as a result of his actions.
