Everton said they are "appalled" at one of their players widely reported to be Italian international Moise Kean hosting a house party contravening the social distancing measures recommended by the British government due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The 20-year-old striker filmed himself hosting the party, the Daily Mirror reported.
The Mirror says Kean sent video clips to a private Snapchat group, with the footage showing female guests giving lap dances.
The caption on one picture was labelled 'quarantine clean'.
Everton issued a statement expressing their fury at the player's actions -- they did not name Kean -- on a day when the death toll in hospitals in the United Kingdom passed the 20,000 mark.
"Everton are appalled to learn of an incident in which a first-team player ignored government guidance and club policy in relation to the coronavirus crisis," read the club statement.
"The club has strongly expressed its disappointment to the player and made it clear that such actions are completely unacceptable."
"The amazing people in the NHS deserve the utmost respect for their hard work and sacrifice. The best way to show them respect is by doing everything we can to protect them."
