Mason Greenwood reacts after He was sent out of England's camp after disobeying covid-19 guidelines

Mason Greenwood has issued an apology after being axed from England's squad after sneaking girls into the Three Lions' team hotel while in Iceland.

The Manchester United striker and Phil Foden, who had both earned their first senior England call-ups, were kicked out of the squad by Gareth Southgate following their misdemeanors.

Greenwood said: 'Having now had the chance to reflect on what's happened, I can only apologize to everyone for the embarrassment I have caused.

'It was irresponsible of me to break the COVID-19 protocols which are in place to protect players, staff, and the public. In particular, I want to apologize to Gareth Southgate, for letting him down, when he had shown great trust in me.'

'Playing for England was one of the proudest moments in my life and I only have myself to blame for this huge mistake. I promise my family, the fans, Manchester United, and England that this is a lesson I will learn from.'
