Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has been filmed smoking while playing poker with friends during the coronavirus lockdown in his native Argentina.
Rojo, currently on loan at Argentine club Estudiantes, was filmed by his brother Franco, who then uploaded the clip into his Instagram account. The video was quickly deleted but not before Argentine media outlets saw it.
The 30-year-old centre-back left Old Trafford to join his boyhood club during the January transfer window but this apparent breach of discipline could land him in hot water.
The gathering of friends around Rojo looks to be a breach of Argentina's lockdown rules, which were recently extended by president Alberto Fernandez until May 10.
A nationwide mandatory quarantine has been in place since the middle of March though some restrictions were relaxed - with people allowed to go within 500 metres of their home for exercise.
However, it doesn't permit visits from other people, certainly in the groups shown in the video.
His brother also got Rojo into trouble a day earlier when he posted an Instagram image of them having a kickabout with friends in the park.
To compound matters, Rojo was wearing the shirt of Estudiantes' rival Boca Juniors with the name and No 10 of legendary player Roman Riquelme on the back.
However, Rojo has also done some good during the lockdown, delivering food and drink to more than 200 families in his home town of La Plata last month.

His brother reporting also broke the lockdown rules. How did he film them when they were in the park when he wore riquelme's shirt. He also broke the lockdown rules.
