• Alisson, Fabinho and Firmino among those possibly affected
  • South American federation may ask to postpone qualifiers

Jürgen Klopp has said Liverpool will not release players for international duty this month if they are required to quarantine for 10 days on their return.
Under UK government restrictions Liverpool would lose several influential players for 10 days after the upcoming international break. The Brazilians Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino and the fit-again Portugal international Diogo Jota are due to play World Cup qualifiers in countries on the UK’s travel red list – Brazil, Colombia and Portugal – and would have to quarantine in a government-approved hotel for 10 days on their return. Sadio Mané and Naby Keïta could also be affected with Senegal and Guinea respectively due to face Eswatini and Guinea, two more countries on the red list.
