Premier League stars heading to red list nations 'will only face a five-day Covid-19 quarantine at their clubs rather than 10 days in a hotel' upon their return as rules are relaxed

Premier League players returning from red list countries will reportedly have their Covid-19 quarantines relaxed under new Government plans.

Anyone coming back from playing in high Covid risk nations would be able to complete a five-day quarantine within their club bubble rather than a mandatory 10-day hotel quarantine.

It is an attempt to avoid the confusion during the last internationals earlier this month when some players defied their clubs by travelling to South America to represent their countries in World Cup qualifiers.
