Five players for LD Alajuelense will be unable to travel for the second leg of tomorrow’s Concacaf Champions League match against Atlanta United. The players travelled to Europe to participate in friendlies in the recent FIFA break against Mexico and Bosnia-Herzegovina. A new US policy states that anyone traveling to Europe must quarantine in their country for 15 days before coming to the States after returning.
In response, Alajuelense issued a statement** noting that club officials are in Atlanta trying to resolve the issue.
The statement also notes that the team and players were required to accept the national team callups since it was an official FIFA competition window.
