On May 21, 2020, Tottenham launched an investigation into Ivory Coast defender Serge Aurier's actions during the UK coronavirus lockdown.
Aurier, 27, posted an Instagram photo showing off his new haircut and tagged the barber Justin Carr in his post, writing, "Yes Sir @justscuts #LeCoiffeurEstBon?? (the hairdresser is good).">
However, hairdressers are closed in Britain in line with the government's rules on social distancing, and are not expected to open again until at least July 4.
Tottenham has already been plagued by social-distancing issues, with boss Jose Mourinho apologizing after taking a training session in a north London park with Tanguy Ndombele, and players Davinson Sanchez and Ryan Sessegnon spotted running together in a separate incident.
Aurier has already been in trouble twice during the pandemic lockdown after going out for a run with a friend and training too close to Tottenham teammate Moussa Sissoko.
He and Sissoko apologized and made a donation to the National Health Service.
Tottenham has stated that they are investigating the circumstances and will deal with the incident appropriately.
