Players on international duty in March!

[Dougiethebear]

Just been talking about it on talkSPORT, players won’t be exempt now, they will have to self isolate on their return! That’s a game changer no?

 

[blueman14]

Clubs won’t let them go in that case.

 

[Main Stand]

I’d imagine leagues will need to be on pause then for two weeks, 3 World Cup qualifiers in that period so no chance will players refuse to go.

Must admit, I haven’t read anything about this though & think it’s unlikely.

Edit: it’s only red zone countries, anyone know what countries these are?.

 

[Barrymoped]

I’d imagine if this is the case then a lot of players will develop injuries around this time.

 

[alfiemorelos]

international games really shouldnt be going ahead

 

[uddingstonbluenose]

International break is after the match at Phiggery. League could be done by then anyway...

 

[St Andrews Bear]

Scrap them. No one cares about international football anyway at the moment.

 

[SuperGers07]

Nothing anywhere about this in an official sense. Talksport are known to talk shit

Why would they do that when they don’t after UcL and UEL games

 

[Rangers72]

Countries on the red list are mostly from South America and Southern Africa, only European country is Portugal

So will only impact Alfie then, who is in Colombia & Paraguay.

 

[Arkanoid]

I'm sure clubs now have the right to pull the plug, UEFA initially thought they were above borders and the law. I'm sure it was the Danish mink shutdown that showed the corrupt Swiss based cunts that you do as you're fucking well told when in another country

And Aribo and Balogun who are due to play Lesotho with Nigeria

They will be going away with their winners medals by then hopefully!.

 

[Grousey]

League will be wrapped up by then.

Portugal is a problem I think

Hope in next round of Europe if we qualify we don't play a Portuguese team !

 

[mmcd_rfc]

for those saying scrap International football. Would the same not apply to Europa League and Champions League then?

Yeah I think Arsenal are having potential problems

Mainly South America, Africa and Portugal.

 

[Dougie Gray]

I suspect (hope) things might look good bit better by March in most parts of the world.

 

[Madjid Moments]

If it wasn’t for the euros then players would be pulling out all over the place.

 

[Sam English]

Yet another reason why International football should've been put on hold.

Only country in Europe on the list, according to others on here, is Portugal. However European football is part of a club's season and provides income to pay wages and cover other costs. International football is simply not necessary,
