And they already got an exemption during the last international break, in March. Besides, there's an agreement in place to which the clubs and leagues have agreed. For now at least, we're committed - or we say we're committed - to football being about more than inconveniencing a bunch of Premier League teams. Yet, for now at least, they're not in charge. Some will say it's all about clubs and money, and the big leagues in Europe, and the rest doesn't matter. There are nine points at stake in these three games. Last time around, Argentina squeaked into the World Cup by just two points (in an 18-game schedule), Chile missed out by a point and Paraguay by two. They have a point, but then so do the affected countries because World Cup qualification really matters, and understandably so. Especially when there's another international break coming up in October and one more in November. It's set by the UK government on grounds of public health and so clubs who, as they often like to remind us, pay these players' salaries, say it's unfair that they should lose their players for, in practical terms, almost a month. The problem is that the 10-day quarantine requirement for "red list" countries isn't a football rule. In exchange, clubs agreed to release players during those periods for a set number of days. Essentially, to avoid players being shuttled all around the globe at different times, all parties agreed to limit internationals to certain pre-agreed dates. The release of international players is governed by an agreement struck between FIFA, national associations and clubs. On the flip side, this wreaks havoc with World Cup qualifiers not just in South America, where virtually the whole continent is on the "red list," but in Asia and Africa as well, and this is where sport meets politics.

The Premier League notes how the enforced 10-day quarantine would not only mean players would miss at least two league matches but, because they'll be stuck away in a hotel unable to train, it will also impact their fitness and mental health. It means that roughly 60 players from 19 Premier League clubs are going to be affected: among them, big names like Man City's Gabriel Jesus and the Liverpool trio of Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino. If you enter the UK and have traveled to one of those countries in the previous 10 days, you need to spend another 10 days isolated in a special quarantine hotel. The "red list" comprises more than 50 countries that the United Kingdom considers to be at elevated risk of COVID-19 transmission. Premier League won't release players for World Cup qualifying The Premier League voted unanimously on Tuesday not to release players for international duty if they are playing matches in what the United Kingdom considers "red list" countries during next month's break. Premier League can't be allowed to undermine World Cup qualifiers - and they probably won't
