England's UEFA Nations League clash with Iceland in doubt due to new coronavirus travel restrictions

The UEFA Nations League match between England and Iceland may have to be postponed after the UK issued a travel ban on visitors coming from Denmark.

England are due to host Erik Hamren's team at Wembley on November 18, three days after the visitors face Denmark in Copenhagen, but the latest restrictions announced by the UK government in response to a new outbreak of Covid-19 in mink farms which has spread to communities in Denmark has threatened the tie.

Under the new rules which were implemented from 4am on Saturday, non-British national or resident travelling from Denmark will be denied entry to the country, while those living in the UK who are returning from the Scandinavian country will have to go into quarantine for two weeks.
