Soccer predictions New COVID-19 restriction hinders English clubs?

Measures to loosen quarantine in Britain are expected to be announced later today, but football people will not be happy. The Athletic reveals that the government has decided to cancel the preferences enjoyed by local athletes returning to the country. From now on, the whole team will have to be isolated for 10 days after returning from a trip abroad. During this period, players will be able to train and play matches, but neither the players nor the members of the sports and technical staff and staff will have the right to visit their homes. Quarantine may be lifted for one who takes a negative coronavirus test, but not earlier than the fifth day. The previous practice was to make an exception for all athletes. For example, any football team that has played for a Champions League or Europa League match by fixed football contacts has not been subjected to mandatory isolation when crossing the UK border. The same was true for individual coaches or newly recruited players. Thus, for example, the new Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel started working directly after arriving from Germany. Last week, several matches of the European tournaments with the participation of English teams were played in neutral stadiums, because in many countries of the Old Continent there is a ban on the entry of people traveling by plane from Great Britain.

It is not clear whether the new rule will apply to foreign clubs facing matches in England. If Prime Minister Boris Johnson announces later today that it will apply, it will lead to a bunch of changes, because Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Leicester will probably have to host their rivals in the European tournaments at neutral stadiums inother countries.
