Hardly a day goes by without football seeking exemptions from the restrictions which the rest of us are expected to observe in hope of saving each other’s lives.

Greed and selfishness, it seems, go hand in hand.

Premier League clubs are confident players travelling to red-carded nations World Cup ties will be similarly excused confinement on their return

This would save our mega-spending clubs from having to play a couple of Premier League games without their ludicrously over-paid stars, who would otherwise be kicking their heels at home or in Covid hotels.
