Apparently because they played a friendly they are okay to not quarantine, but if it has just been a training camp they would have needed to. The rules seem incredibly inconsistent and incomprehensible (insert comment here about Government’s handling of Covid for the past 5 months).

If this was organised by the club it is potentially much more serious and alarming Scotland have different policies, so it isn’t directly comparable. Players at English clubs were allowed to holiday in Spain - Emi and Rupp were both in Spain during the break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we have broken the rules though, assumingly unknowingly, it's pretty important that the rules are clarified as the transfer window's only going to be getting busier for most clubs now.

Branston Pickle 3,634 Posted August 21, 2020 The whole thing is classically/deliberately as clear as mud. The guy has been part of the Spanish league set up and tested plenty of times and then tested again here, so is hardly a danger to anyone and presumably the club followed what it considered to be the rules. If it turns out NCFC have made a mistake, it’s just one of those things and shows how messy the whole thing is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
