Liverpool’s Champions League clash with FC Midtjylland ‘under threat’ as Jurgen Klopp’s side would be offered NO exemption from quarantine rules should they have to travel to Denmark
- Liverpool are scheduled to face FC Midtjylland in the Champions League
- But latest Government travel restrictions could prevent Reds from travelling
- There is no exemption for elite sportsmen or women from latest measures
Liverpool‘s Champions League plans have been thrown into turmoil by the UK Government‘s latest travel warning regarding Denmark.
The Reds are due to fly to the Scandinavian country next month as part of their Group D schedule.
However, latest travel restrictions mean that any persons returning from the country must self-isolate for two weeks on their return.
Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool face a wait to discover if they can travel to Denmark next month
Those protocols have been waived for elite sportsmen and women since the return of competitions, however it has been confirmed that this will not be the case with Denmark.
This is due to a new, more virulent strain of the coronavirus having been passed from mink to humans.
And according to the Liverpool Echo, this could have ramifications for Jurgen Klopp’s side, with the Reds’ trip to Herning now being rethought.
The outbreak in Denmark has already caused question marks over the upcoming friendly between England and Iceland.
The Reds clash with FC Midtjylland is under threat due to the latest Government travel advice
With Iceland due to face Denmark just three days before heading to Wembley for their Nations League clash, the FA are set to hold urgent talks with the FA to find out whether the match can go ahead.
As it stands, Premier League clubs are refusing players the right to travel to Scandinavian destinations due to the latest outbreak.
Should this stance be upheld, it would mean a certain postponement to Liverpool’s clash with FC Midtjylland on December 9.
