The player has later concluded hs message that until both clubs and League can not guarantee that players\u2019 safety both in regards to COVID and physical and mental healths cannot be enforced, any player should decide in good conscience to not play without being subjected to a punishment.<\/p>\n<p>The Winner League has replied, via journalist Roi Cohen, stating that &#8220;The league is operating under the MOH instructions&#8230; We respect any player who is concerned and doesn&#8217;t want to play.
