The Brazilian Football Confederation and other South American confederations, as well as Mexico, backed down, and decided to withdraw the penalty request from English teams, which did not result in two players in contention in the World Cup qualifying round. The information was published on Friday by the portal “GE”.
This way, clubs can recruit players this weekend and in Tuesday’s matches for the first round of the Champions League. Chelsea and Manchester United suit this case. In return, the clubs promised to release the players for the qualifying round scheduled for October.
There is still one detail, however. For release to take place normally, the quarantine imposed on those coming into the UK must be eased. FIFA, the Premier League and the English League are working together to convince the British government that this is likely to happen.
Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile and Mexico are part of the so-called “red list” established by the UK government. As a result, players of these nationalities working there were unable to play for their national teams in the September round. Everyone who arrives in England from these countries, needs to go through 10 days of isolation.
Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino (Liverpool), Gabriel Jesus and Ederson (Manchester City), Ravenha (Leeds) and Fred (Manchester United), as well as Malcom and Claudinho, from Zenit, Russia, ended up embezzling the Brazilian national team because of this on one side.
Next Friday (17/9), Tite is expected to announce the list of candidates for the next round of qualifiers.
