Premier League players set to be left out of Denmark squad

England’s final UEFA Nations League fixture with Iceland at Wembley is in doubt because of new coronavirus travel restrictions with Denmark.

New coronavirus restrictions have been put in place by the government in England relating to a new coronavirus strain that has spread from mink to humans in North Jutland, Denmark.

Iceland are set to play Denmark in Copenhagen three days before their scheduled match with England in London on November 18.

The new restrictions on Denmark include elite footballers, who were previously exempt from travel restrictions.

The Football Association is in dialogue with the government and are awaiting clarification regarding the ban, which as it stands would mean the Iceland squad would not be allowed into the country without observing a quarantine.

The latest rules, which took effect on Saturday morning, will be reviewed after a week, the Department For Transport said.
