The ruling made on Wednesday, September 8 by FIFA comes after the Brazilian FA pressured FIFA to invoke this rule on all Brazilian players playing in the Premier League as all the English clubs unanimously agreed not to send their players to a ‘red-list nation’ citing risk of contracting Covid-19 plus the amount of time it’ll take for the players to quarantine upon arrival from International duty.
With this action , the Brazilian FA have risked the wrath of the English clubs by imposing a ‘five-day restriction’ on the players they called up for their World Cup qualifiers this week.
Man City will be without Gabriel Jesus and goalkeeper Ederson while Manchester United will be without Fred.
Interestingly, Everton are allowed to select Richarlison for their next game as the club has good relations with the Brazilian FA.
