Earlier this month, the club had reprimanded Jose for breaking lockdown rules. The manager had conducted an outdoor training session with Tanguy Ndombele and apologised for his actions soon after.
It is great to see our manager volunteering to help out in these challenging times.
From turning our stadium into a hospital unit and testing centre, to delivering produce grown in our Kitchen Garden to the needy, the club has been doing some brilliant work in helping fight the battle against the pandemic.
