STEVEN GERRARD is confident Rangers’ foreign stars will have no Coronavirus issues during the international break.

The Ibrox boss has the power to block the likes of Croatian international Borna Barisic from leaving Glasgow to play in the Nations League fixtures over the coming days thanks to new FIFA guidelines.

Filip Helander and Glen Kamara will represent Sweden and Finland respectively and Gerrard will expect all of his players to follow the strict travel advice that is in place.

Gerrard said: “I think the medical team have taken the lead on that and I am obviously involved. There have been a lot of emails coming back and forwards in terms of the national teams. I think we have got to pass the trust onto the national teams.

“We don’t want to be in the position or be a club that tries to hold anyone back. The players want to go and represent their countries and we are proud to release them to go and do that.

“But we obviously trust that they are going to be tested at the right times and they are going to have the right information on them when they return so that they don’t have to quarantine.

“If Borna sticks to the guidelines and does everything right when he’s coming to and from, I think there won’t be a problem.

I’m sure Croatia are going to be testing and doing everything right. It’s not just in Borna’s case, it is all the international cases.

“We are holding them responsible to make sure they stick to the rules and the guidelines when they are travelling to and from.”
