Chelsea star Thiago Silva gave his match-worn shirt to a construction worker at Craven Cottage and could face punishment from the Premier League for flouted coronavirus protocol, according to 90min.
The Premier League issued stern new guidelines for footballers and staff to follow amid the latest spike in cases, which constituted a ban on swapping or giving away worn shirts.
When having just beaten Fulham 1-0 at Craven Cottage, Silva ignored those warnings on Saturday afternoon as he spotted a construction worker in the stands and launched his jersey to the member of public.
As the English top-flight officials look to clamp down on those who do not follow their new set of rules, in a bid to slow the spread of the virus, the 36-year-old could be reprimanded for his actions.
