Hodgson comments on Milivojevic apology and reiterates expectations of players during pandemic

Roy Hodgson called the recent breach of coronavirus restrictions by Luka Milivojevic “a grave mistake”, but welcomed the captain’s public apology and donation to the NHS, adding that he has done enough to earn a second chance.

“Luka made a grave mistake, and he’s taken responsibility for it,” he said in his pre-Wolves press conference. “He’s put out a statement which I think covers things quite well.

“He’s made a substantial contribution to the NHS which we were very pleased he suggested he wanted to do, because a fine would have gone back into the club coffers.
