Premier League clubs are fuming over the Government's 'illogical' new quarantine rules after being told players that travel overseas for European or international games MUST self-isolate for 10 days

Premier League clubs have branded the Government's new quarantine rules 'illogical' — and are considering running meals-on-wheels services for self-isolating players and staff.

Last weekend, top-flight clubs were told that those who travel overseas — for any reason including European and international fixtures — must self-isolate for 10 days on their return, other than to train and play in games. Previously, no such restrictions were in place.

The Government say that the rules bring elite sport in line with the general public and point out a negative test upon return to the UK can see the 10-day period halved.
