Perth Glory are hopeful that both their men's and women's seasons will not be too heavily affected by border closures as the men's team plan to charter a flight back to Western Australia.
Perth Glory hope to be permitted to charter a flight from Brisbane to Perth as they attempt to get their A-League Men's players and staff out of Queensland hotel quarantine and home in time for Christmas.Perth's men's squad remains in Queensland quarantine while they wait for state governments to decide where they will spend Christmas
The Glory's 35-person travelling party has been isolating in hotel rooms in Brisbane since last Thursday after a player tested positive for COVID-19 and their entire group were considered close contacts. "It's basically trying to get Queensland Health and WA Health to work together and be able to get them released from Queensland and get them home and they can do the quarantine at home, the remaining seven days," Pignata told Perth's TABradio.
"He's fit, was going to be ready to play last weekend and now he's stuck in a hotel room. So he's clearly frustrated, saying, 'This is not what I've signed up for'."
