Ben Chilwell posted - and then swiftly deleted - an Instagram photo of Chelsea teammates Mason Mount and Reece James clubbing in Los Angeles.
James is seen wearing a white cardigan with his middle finger up in the image, while Mount is holding a plastic cup while wearing a vintage NBA t-shirt.
However, The Sun reported that Chilwell was quick to take the post down. It is unclear whether the defender had a personal change of heart, or if it was an order from on high.
James also wore blue jeans and black Converse, while Mount is seen in black New York-branded trousers on their return to LA after a successful trip to Nevada.
