Four sports stars who have taken out injunctions in the English courts are the latest to be named by an American publications, despite newspapers in England being unable to report on any of them.

Among those revealed by a US publication are a Premier League footballer and manager who are fighting to keep their alleged infidelities out of the media.

The article comes a week after an injunction banning press from reporting on a threesome involving a celebrity was upheld in England’s Supreme Court despite the well-known star being named in the US and on social media, prompting a legal challenge by The Sun on Sunday newspaper.
