You'd need to check with insurers but I'm sure I read somewhere that some were willing to cover for normal risks like trips/slips, appendicitis (so probably a kick in the cobblers too) in the EU. I suspect however if you come down with Covid or are stranded because lockdown is re-instated you might be on your own.
It's also likely that FO advice will change shortly. In normal circumstances travelling against FO advice would be, at best, a specialist insurance market but the usual reason for such advice is war or civil unrest. I don't see most EU countries as posing a significantly higher risk than UK for either unrest or epidemic.
