PREMIER LEAGUE stars have been warned to STOP sharing holiday snaps on social media over fears of their quarantine whereabouts on their return to the UK.
Top-flight clubs are set to kick off their pre-season plans as early as next week following a condensed summer break.

A hatful of players are currently enjoying a quick break in the sun – with the likes of Dele Alli, Jack Grealish, James Maddison and Frank Lampard all making the most of their few weeks off.
But now Sportsmail have claimed stars have been urged to ditch social media in a bid to avoid awkward questions surrounding their whereabouts during periods of self-isolation.
Spanish hot-spots such as Marbella and Ibiza are favourites amongst the world’s best footballers.
But, due to regulations introduced for people arriving in the UK from Spain, they will need to quarantine for 14 days when landing in Britain.
Some players, such as those at Manchester City, have elite sport exemptions.
However, stars who are NOT involved in European competition are not given the same exemption.
They will therefore be forced to follow all coronavirus protocols on their return to England.

Premier League chiefs have already been in touch with top-flight bosses, reminding them of all Governmental advice.
They hope to avoid any new-season drama – such as that seen in Scotland, with some players at Aberdeen and Celtic breaching lockdown regulations.
Hoops star Boli Bolingoli – the cousin of Romelu Lukaku – spent a day in Malaga with his partner recently.
However, he failed to report this fact to Celtic and didn’t adhere to quarantine guidelines.
He then played in the 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock.

Elsewhere, a host of Aberdeen players went out for a night on the town, with the city swiftly placed under local lockdown after a spike in cases.
Their night out resulted in two positive tests for the virus, with six more forced into self-isolation with the Dons’ game against St Johnstone axed.
Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said she was “furious” with the behaviour of certain Scottish Premiership stars.
