Take your point, but its not like they are packing onto Ryanair flights like most people would have to.
There are huge protocols in place and anyone in possible breach of them (see Messrs Abraham, Sancho and Chilwell) aren't allowed near the teams.
There is some common sense prevailing as well - England are playing Wales to limit travel, Spain played Portugal last night, New Zealand pulled out of a match with Belgium.
Professional footballer is probably one of the safest jobs to have at the moment from a Covid viewpoint. |  | | |

All good and valid points. And, thus far, football doesn’t seem to have been hit by any serious COVID outbreaks. That said, how much testing goes on lower down the leagues. At ITFC for example? Is the squad getting regularly tested? | |

I think it's optional isn't it before a game?
Maybe that's wrong.
But remember Hull turned down the offer of free testing when they were offered it by a Prem club (can't remember who)? |  |

International football is not a necessity just now.
But that aside, the economy is rightly a consideration when looking at national strategy as it directly impacts people's mental and physical health, and consequently their lives. |  |

Think that's right that it is optional for EFL clubs. Championship clubs have, by and large, carried out testing at their own cost. L1 & L2 clubs haven't, due to cost and (rightly or wrongly) the potential impact of a high number of positive results.
This does cause issues when cup games pit L1/L2 clubs against PL clubs, as happened when Hull played West Ham. PL clubs tend to offer testing to lower league clubs at their own expense but this does not have to be taken up, as Hull opted to do.
Spurs paid for Leyton Orient players to be tested, then got a bye when a load of them came back positive. | | | |

When you can still fly to just about any country in the world 22 men flying for a football match isn’t that bad, no matter wether we think they should do it or not. |  | | |
