I thought the talk was that Coady would be cleared after Sunday?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes that's what i thought, he won't have trained though and I guess will have to be tested again before he can return. We'll see. Just realised that Dendoncker wasn't in the video either.
I did read that more premier league players have tested positive for COVID this week than at any time since the game resumed. I think Nuno and co are quite paranoid about making sure that anyone with a chance of bringing the virus into the training camp is kept away. If anyone did bring it in then games would need to be postponed as the whole squad would need to quarantine
The international breaks lately should be considered extreme negligence and clubs should look for reimbursement for any players missing afterward.
As the risk to professional sportsmen at peak fitness is virtually zero, why not just infect the whole squad and get it over with?
Under current quarantine rules if the squad were infected then they wouldn’t be able to play or train for 2 weeks so that isn’t going to happen
Wait and see with the above situation with Coady. True to say he wasn’t at Compton at the time of the filming but then he was still isolating. Unless he has the virus himself now then he will return to training today and Nuno will have to decide whether he is ok to play tonight

Certainly the Nations League nonsense should have been scrapped, I'm sure it wouldn't have taken too much unpicking. I've honestly no idea what they are playing for in that this time, pressumably something to do with World Cup qualification. Talking of which when does that start?
The Nations League is a competition in its own right so has no bearing on qualification for anything else, although it helps with ranking points. Maybe they should have held the games in one country that had good virus control, like they did with the Europa League
Of course that changes nothing for Jimenez, Boly and Saiss who were probably more at risk
Its given me a nose bleed but Ive figured out that there is some link to WC qualification that UEFA have contrived. The two highest ranked Nations League group winners that dont finish first or second in their World Cup qualifying group, will join the ten World Cup qualifying group runners up in the play off games. So making it 12 teams playing in 3 x 4 team semi-final & final groups, so three additional qualifiers to add to the ten group winners.
All clear.
Contrived sounds like a good word to use

Yeah two spots in the world cup play offs this time around. Not as big a reward as the four euro spots it had for it's own play off comps a few weeks ago.
Overall I think the nations league is a success on many levels. Just not right now during a pandemic.
Successful Cinci? Could that have anything to do with Scotland's qualification and England's failure?

That might be one way to look at it. The difference being one you statements is a constant, one of them is a rarity.
