Do not compromise international players’ safety, warns FIFPRO general secretary

Brighton and Hove Albion v Manchester City – Premier League – Amex Stadium

Players must not be forced to travel to high-risk countries for international duty, the general secretary of world players’ union FIFPRO has warned.

International football is set to be played in Europe in September but will not happen anywhere else, as sport continues to be deeply affected by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic across the globe.
