Premier League players impose ban on camera phones at club Christmas parties in bid to avoid festive PR disasters with Covid rates on the rise

Premier League players have brought in a self-imposed ban on using camera phones at their Christmas parties.

The top-flight stars are taking steps to avoid their own festive PR disasters in the week that the Government came under fire after footage of Downing Street officials joking about a party during last year’s restrictions.

As Covid rates increase, some clubs have even decided against organising parties due to the ongoing crisis. Watford are among those who did not entertain the idea of arranging any festivities, and it is understood Wolves have shelved plans for a players’ lunch.
