The restriction will continue to be as the club sides have now dominated everywhere with their rules to over shadow other laws. With much expectations the English players have been cautioned and so they are not going to join the team but feel big for the nation and so will wait for another match giving the coaches options. Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp, Thomas Partey, Tariq Fosu are likely to miss the game should their clubs block their move during the international break. As part of the UK COVID-19 protocols, anyone that returns from countries on the Red List must quarantine in an airport hotel for 10 days, with no exemptions for elite athletes which many Premier League managers and coaches have raised concerns and are unhappy about.
