WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR
Manchester United’s Greenwood, 18, and Man City’s Foden, 20, will now return home instead of traveling with the rest of the squad to face Denmark tomorrow.
But before boarding a private plane flying them back to Manchester tonight, the duo have been hit with a £1,360 fine for the Covid rule breach.
SunSport understands that their respective clubs could also punish them financially upon their return.
The fine must be paid by the players themselves and not the FA or by City or United.
The pair, who made their international debuts in the Nations League victory, were described as “gentlemen” by the girls who visited them at the hotel.
Model Nadia Sif Lindal Gunnarsdottir, 20, has revealed how she had been chatting with Greenwood for a “couple of days” before he and Foden arrived in Iceland.

After she and her 19-year-old cousin Lara Clausen visited the hotel, she told The Mail: “We met online. I was talking to Mason for a couple of days before they came to Iceland.
“They did know that they had to quarantine, but we figured that since they were playing Iceland, they had been tested before and it would be OK.”
Nadia added: “We haven’t spoken to them since. We don’t want to interrupt them because they are of course going through a lot right now. They haven’t contacted us.
“It was a good night that we had, of course. We were all the four of us spending time together and getting to know each other. They were nice guys. Really, really nice.”
Lara added: “They were just young. We were all young and stupid and we all make mistakes. They treated us really well. They were such gentlemen. Really nice guys.”
Now footage of the conversation between the giggling girls and the two youngsters has surfaced on social media as they plotted how to sneak into the hotel in Iceland.
Both Man City and United have also both condemned the actions of their respective players.
England’s squad were exempt from Iceland’s quarantine guidelines, but they had to abide by strict rules while in the country.
Southgate’s men were not allowed to meet anyone outside of their bubble.
The players would not have even been allowed to see their families if they had travelled to the match.
Foden became a dad when he was 18 years old and is in a relationship with long-term partner Rebecca Cooke.
United star Greenwood broke up with his model girlfriend back in May.
