RIO DE JANEIRO: Brazil coach Tite called up eight England-based players for October’s World Cup qualifiers on Friday in expectation that an agreement will be reached with the Premier League to release them for transatlantic travel.
Brazil is on England’s COVID-19 red list, meaning visitors must quarantine for 14 days after returning from South America. Those arriving in Brazil from England are also required to quarantine for two weeks. The Brazil v Argentina match was halted in farcical fashion just five minutes after kickoff when Brazilian health officials entered the pitch to stop Argentina’s England-based players from playing because they had not completed the required quarantine on arrival in Sao Paulo.Juninho Paulista, the national team coordinator, gave no details but said the eight Premier League players were included due to a belief an accord will be reached next week.
"Hopefully the authorities in Brazil and here have a solution that is perfect for both sides. They need to sit and find a solution for the players and clubs and federations."
