PARIS: Europe’s top clubs are threatening not to release players for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon over fears surrounding its Covid-19 health protocol. The European Club Association, which represents leading clubs across the continent, made its concerns known to FIFA in a letter seen by AFP.
Clubs could lose players who are called up for the 24-team tournament from as early as December 27, which is particularly problematic for those based in England.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he believes taking the coronavirus vaccine is about "solidarity, loyalty and togetherness" as he revealed his whole squad has been at least double vaccinated.
