The next international break, featuring World Cup qualifiers for CONCACAF, UEFA and CONMEBOL, is set to run between August 30 and September 8.
Premier League clubs will not release players to ‘red list’ countries for World Cup qualifiers during international break:
Under current UK government rules, anyone travelling to a country on the red list is required to quarantine for 10 days upon their return, due to high coronavirus spread in those countries.
FIFA has refused to allow players an exemption to this quarantine, causing the Premier League to announce it has “reluctantly but unanimously decided not to release players” for the upcoming international break.
Premier League CEO Richard Masters added: “Premier League clubs have always supported their players’ desires to represent their countries – this is a matter of pride for all concerned. However, clubs have reluctantly but rightly come to the conclusion that it would be entirely unreasonable to release players under these new circumstances.”
