Club vs country: PL teams see red over release of players for national duty
August 24 – English Premier League clubs and other members of the European Clubs Association look set for a showdown with FIFA by banning players from visiting so-called “red list” countries for September’s international break.
International rules say players must be released to play for their nations but the clubs argue that unless quarantine requirements are lifted, they will not allow their players to travel.
Argentina, Brazil and Egypt are among those are on the UK’s red list and a host of star names could miss out rather than be forced into a 10-day period of hotel isolation on their return.
