As more and more details emerge about the actions of Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood in Iceland, the more serious the situation appears to get.

Yesterday, we brought you a report that claimed the pair had tried to get at least four Icelandic girls back to their Reykjavik.

Now, it’s being reported they paid a hotel worker in order to smuggle the two girls into their room.

Model Nadia Sif Lindal Gunnarsdottir, 20, and her cousin Lara Clausen, 19, later posted footage from their meeting with Foden and Greenwood. The Manchester City midfielder and Manchester United striker were subsequently removed from the England camp after breaking Covid-19 rules.

But The Sun are now reporting that they paid someone at the hotel a “generous” amount of money in order to hook up with the girls.

A source said: “They were very keen to meet the women and needed help from an employee, who received a very generous tip.

“There cannot be any doubt they knew what they did was wrong. All the rules had been drummed into them.

"There was less security than usual travelling as no fans were allowed in the stadium and the players took advantage of that.”

The same report claims a physio had caught the pair before breakfast the next day and prevented them from joining up with the rest of the squad.

The source added: “If they had breakfast with the lads, it could have led to the Denmark game being called off.”

Following England’s 0-0 draw with Denmark, manager Gareth Southgate was, once again, asked about the situation. And he couldn’t hide that his anger has increased after learning new details.

"I have spoken to both of them, as I said yesterday, they know what happened was unacceptable on a COVID basis, but as I've learned more details, it was unacceptable on any basis," said Southgate.

"Either way they would have gone home.”

And a source told The Sun that Southgate is “absolutely furious” and the two players could well be left out of future squads.

“The manager has been measured in public but is absolutely furious with them. They can expect to be banished from the next couple of squads.”
