Ederson and Jesus cleared to play (Pg 63)

For reasons Brazilian citizens apparently arnt required to quarantine on entry to the country, so they could have actually played, unlike the Argentines who came from the same place, which in itself is completely ridiculous and probably another reason why Brazil has been doing so poorly with covid if cant act objectively with rules.

I feel fifa has maybe bitten off too much here trying to enforce this ruling and some powerful interests could be happy to try curb their power over club football if they get the opportunity to go to some court.

to be fair that rule exists in a large number of countries (if you are from that country the rules are different on entrance). Doesn't mean this is anything other than a complete p155 take from Brazil though. Question is will Premier League have the balls to tell them to get stuffed.
I suspect not as it affects us more than anyone else (due to Steffan) and even the scouser who have 3 out would be compensated by Leeds - their opponents - also missing players

Not as confident as you about that, he looked a bit rusty in that 4-3 win at Newcastle last season.

He hadn't played for years before that game though. Now he is almost a regular. Two games in a calendar year.... At this rate he will no longer be the highest paid professional in the Premier League per minute of game time

Absolutely.

Hmmm FIFA being ridiculous….It’s like proposing a World Cup every 2 years instead of 4 years they would have to out of their minds…Or a Winter WC in a boiling hot country which nobody will go to mid season.

Wait a minute….. ;-)

PL clubs hope players will be free to play

Premier League clubs remain hopeful their players will be released for matches this weekend, after four national associations trigger a Fifa rule to prevent them appearing.

aaaaand there we have it.
 
So as it stands we have no first or second choice keeper available vs Leicester.

You couldn’t make it up particularly as the Brazil vs Argentina game was abandoned DUE TO COVID Which is why we didn’t send them in the first place.

So FIFA can prevent Edison and Jesus from playing at the weekend if they feel like it.

Tell them to do one, we pay their bloody wages.

It’s the Brazilian Govt who have done this and it’s their law that has forced FIFA to tell clubs that Brazilian players play for in England that their players can’t play.

FIFA have been the middle man in this.
