REVEALED: Premier League players and staff must now self-isolate for up to 10 DAYS after returning from Champions League and Europa League away matches, with stars ONLY allowed to leave home for training and matches

New UK government guidance means Premier League players and coaches will be required to isolate for 10 days following any overseas trip, complicating the schedules of teams still in the Champions League and Europa League.

Prior to Sunday's new restrictions being detailed to all 20 Premier League clubs, revealed by the Athletic, there were no targeted guidelines for players and staff returning from overseas trips.

The 10-day period can be reduced by half if a player of staff member can provide a negative Covid-19 test following a five-day isolation.
