TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR have launched an investigation after full-back Serge Aurier appeared to break lockdown rules for a THIRD time.
The 27-year-old posted an image on his own Instagram account of himself getting a haircut… despite the activity clearly being banned.
And a Spurs spokesman told the Standard: “We are investigating the circumstances and will deal with the incident appropriately.”
It is not clear when the haircut took place, but it will likely cause even more ire if it indeed occurred between the Spurs squad’s coronavirus tests and their return to training – putting the Ivorian’s team-mates at risk.
Aurier, wearing his team-mate Davinson Sanchez’s Colombia shirt, posed on a seat with another man stood directly behind him.
In the first photo, he has his hands together, then points to the camera and finally lowers his head to show off the very fresh fade and design in his hair.
He captioned the post: “Yes Sir @justscuts #LeCoiffeurEstBon,” with the hashtag translating to “the hairdresser is good”.
He was spotted wearing the same Colombia shirt while driving into Tottenham’s training ground earlier in the day.
And also yesterday, Aurier posted a video of himself kicking a ball, as Spurs players returned to the training ground for solo sessions.
He captioned it: “Resumption of work… it’s almost time.”
The latest Instagram post comes less than a month after he and Moussa Sissoko were forced to apologise for breaking lockdown rules.
Aurier shared a video of himself wearing a mask while training with fellow Tottenham man Sissoko on social media before swiftly deleting it.
In a joint statement, the pair said: “We wish to apologise for not setting the right example here.
“We recognise that as professional footballers we have a responsibility to be role models, particularly during this uncertain period that everyone around the world is facing.”
“We must all respect the government advice to minimise the number of lives lost during this pandemic.
“We cannot thank NHS staff enough for their tireless work at this time and we shall both be making a financial donation to show our support for their efforts.”
And this was not the first time that Aurier had gotten himself into trouble, after filming himself running with a friend a fortnight before.
Spurs also drew criticism when manager Jose Mourinho was pictured holding a training session in a park.
And when Sanchez was snapped jogging with Ryan Sessegnon.
