Earlier this month, Premier League clubs refused to release any of their players bound for red list countries because the 10-day hotel quarantine afterwards would keep them out of too many games. African internationals such as Liverpool forwards Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane were also prevented from travelling to red list countries. Countries that remain on the UK Government’s Covid red list include Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Talks began between DCMS, the Premier League and the Football Association to find a solution for the October and November international games and now those plans have been circulated.
