The Premier League has revealed it will not release any players for international matches taking place in countries placed on the United Kingdom's 'red list' next month.
England's top-flight says all 20 clubs 'reluctantly but unanimously' made the decision in a meeting and that the division's bosses 'strongly supported' the call made by the clubs.
Sixty players from 19 clubs were set to be released to 26 countries placed in the highest category of UK travel restrictions but those players now cannot represent their country if they or the teams they are playing are hosting games in 'red list' zones.
