According to Sportsmole, Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell and Jadon Sancho's arrival to England duty has been delayed following reports the three players attended a party in breach of coronavirus regulations.
The two Chelsea players and Sancho were seen in a video published by The Sun at a party in London with more than six people – breaking the Government's 'rule of six' Covid-19 guidelines – on Saturday evening.
As a result the three men did not join up with the rest of Gareth Southgate's squad at St George's Park on Monday while the Football Association collects more information.
That makes the trio seemingly unlikely to be involved in Thursday's friendly against Wales at Wembley.
Southgate, whose side also face Belgium and Denmark in the next nine days, will be tearing his hair out after another episode of players breaking coronavirus rules.
The boss had warned his players to be on their best behaviour when he had to drop Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood after they were sent home for breaching protocols while with the England squad in Iceland last month.
A statement from the FA read: "England men's senior squad has assembled at St George's Park ahead of the forthcoming fixtures against Wales, Belgium and Denmark.
"However, as a precaution to understand if there is any risk to the wider group, the arrival of Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell and Jadon Sancho will be delayed.
