About four Arsenal players have been accused of violating the lockdown protocol set aside by the government to stop the spread of the novel Covid-19. France international player, Alexander Lacazette, Brazilian star David Luiz and about two other players of Gunners have been talked to by the club after pictures and videos emerged of them breaking the lockdown rule.
