Sickle cell trait is usually not a problem. They have to maintain hydration in the heat. And the trainers and the player need to be aware of potential symptoms. Combine heat, exertion, and altitude then you may have a problem. It caused a sickling crisis in Ryan Clark in Denver and he had his spleen and gallbladder removed. He was able to play again, but as a precaution didn’t play in Denver again.
Covid 19 can cause clots which is not a good combination with a medical condition that can do the same.
