Jadon Sancho reacts to a fine from the German FA over haircut fine

Borussia Dortmund's Manuel Akanji and Jadon Sancho had barbers visit their own respective homes for cuts ahead of the match against Paderborn game, something the German league finds fault in.

A statement from the German league (DFL) said: "The DFL has fined Manuel Akanji and Jadon Sancho.

"The players from Borussia Dortmund had obviously violated general hygiene and infection protection standards at home hairdressing appointments and in particular the medical-organizational concept of the DFL task force."

The DFL statement added: "There is no question that professional footballers also have to have their hair cut. However, this currently has to be done in accordance with the medical-organizational concept."

The 20-year-old has now reacted to the fine, describing it as an "absolute joke".

The player, and six of his teammates, took a photo with hairdresser while out getting hair cuts with their face masks off.
