Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has asked Ghana to seek a neutral venue for their AFCON qualifiers clash against South Africa.
This is due to the COVID-19 concerns in South Africa. Players playing in the UK are banned from travelling to South Africa.
This is a tricky situation for Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp who play for the Eagles and will be forced to play in that country for the important clash.
"I don’t think we have much choice," Hodgson said when asked if he would permit or limit travel, his club's official website reports.
"I don’t think the [UK] Government will allow travel to South Africa. So I don’t understand if South Africa is on a banned list how we can happily allow our players to go. It’s out of our hands, to be honest.
"As far as others are concerned, I understand my colleagues’ [other managers] concern over players going to play for the national team when others [require] quarantine.
"I only hope the Premier League will assure us that when players return to the bubble they’ve left from a bubble with their national team, they won’t be punished by not being able to train or play. That would be very, very harsh."
The same issue affects Arsenal's Thomas Partey.
