FIFA takes Final Decision on Brazilian stars playing this weekend


FIFA has given permission to players who were called up by Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Paraguay during the last international break, to play in the Premier League this weekend.

On Wednesday, the world football governing body had invoked Article 5 to block English clubs from selecting players who did not honour their countries’ invitation.

This followed a request from the Brazilian Football Confederation.

Premier League clubs unanimously agreed not to release players for matches in countries on the UK Government’s red list.
