EPL: Palace admit Eberechi Eze breached COVID-19 rules
Published 11 January 2021
Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze has admitted “an error of judgement” by attending former club Queens Park Rangers’ FA Cup tie against Fulham on Saturday in the latest breach of coronavirus regulations by a Premier League player.
Palace said they were unaware of QPR’s invitation to Eze and will speak to the England under-21 international after he was seen in the stands at Loftus Road without wearing a mask.
“QPR have acknowledged they made a mistake in hosting Eberechi Eze in the directors’ box at Saturday’s FA Cup match against Fulham without our knowledge,” Palace said in a statement on Monday.
