The issue of European clubs being able to block their players from representing national teams due to new Covid-related regulations is exacerbating the tension that arises between club and national teams with African national team coaches and federations reaching a breaking point. Receiving news that twelve French-based players called up will not be able to participate with the Senegal national team in matches against Congo and Eswatini, the Senegalese Football Federation sent a formal letter to the France Football Federation expressing their objection to the restrictions, citing a short window of notice for the Lions of Teranga.
