Just read about Leicester trio Maddison, Perez and Choudhury were missing today after breaking these rules in the BBC report below.
Three Leicester players, including England midfielder James Maddison, were dropped for the 3-2 defeat at West Ham for breaching Covid-19 protocols.
Brendan Rodgers said that Maddison, midfielder Hamza Choudhury and forward Ayoze Perez had broken the rules.
Manager Rodgers added that all three will be in contention for next Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Southampton.
"We're a club that has a set of values. If we fall below that, then there is always a consequence," he said.
The Foxes boss told BBC Match of the Day that a punishment was needed "otherwise players don't learn".
He added: "There is no animosity, nothing like that, but we have a value to how we work on a daily basis and how we prepare for games.
"If anyone falls short of that, then we have to move on without them."

Rodgers said the trio - who he described as "good lads" - will now be welcomed back into the squad.
Now IMO to fine players especially from the prem is totally useless, so why not a 5 game playing ban imposed by the FA as a football law.
This would hurt players and more so the clubs and hopefully they might just take the covid-19 rules a bit more seriously.

To be fair to Leicester City FC - at least they have a set of values.

Journalist Daniel Storey has talked about Leicester City players breaking protocols before their game against West Ham.

One topic was Leicester’s loss to West Ham, discussing the news that multiple Leicester players had broken pandemic protocols. Storey believes that it is a dim thing to do and if he were Brendan Rodgers, he’d be furious.

It has been reported that James Maddison, Ayoze Perez and Hamza Choudhury broke the protocols and they were dropped for the defeat to West Ham. Rodgers stated that their actions were well below the standards and there was always going to be a consequence for it (as per BBC Sport).

It is thought that Wes Morgan and Harvey Barnes were also present during the party.

Storey believes that the incident wasn’t salacious and it is unknown whether they were invited to the party or not.

The journalist stated: “I don’t think it was particularly salacious. It was just that they went to a house party, whether they organised it or not. But the fact that there were three, and it sounds like maybe two other Leicester players there as well, suggests that they were the focus of it, which without getting too high and mighty morally, it’s a really dim thing to do.

“Partly because you’re obviously going to get found out and secondly, even if you don’t get found out [and] if one of you – low chance, catches [the virus] at the party and then it isn’t found out before you return to training and stuff, that could have been catastrophic for Leicester’s season.

“And so, I mean, if I was Brendan Rodgers, I’ll be absolutely genuinely furious because in a kind of run-in when everybody knows you collapsed from kind of this stage onwards last season, just such a dim thing to do.”
