yes, disappointing certainly. Looks like Baldock still our only cover for the moment. If the Mendes thing is happening, it'd be good to speed that along, esp if he has to isolate or something coming from Portugal
Unless he's got a part-time job as a lorry driver, I don't think he currently is allowed into the UK at all if he is coming from Portugal!
when the denmark/mink thing happened, sportspeople were exempt I think, so that might be the case here
The exemptions were given by the Government specifically for the Icelandic team, who played Denmark 3 days before they were due to play England in the Nations Cup in November; the Icelandic players stayed in a bio-secure bubble and were tested before flying into London.
There is no way a single player would be granted a similar exemption.
