The Football Association today (Thursday) received an official letter from the Chinese Gwangju R&F team, in which two players of the Israeli national team, Eran Zehavi and Dia Seba, play, according to which they will not be released for the upcoming games against Scotland away (4.9) and Slovakia in Israel (7.9).

The Chinese team justified its decision in the new structure of the league, with its return to the games after being stopped following the corona virus, and the obligation in China for 15 days of isolation for anyone who leaves the country and returns to it.

The Football Association said: "We will work with the team in an attempt to regulate the release of players in favor of the League of Nations Level B. This is a widespread phenomenon faced by most associations in Europe in the face of each country's unique isolation policy, which makes it difficult to release FIFA. The associations were asked to settle the issue with the teams as much as possible, when it is clear that the games will take place as usual. "
