Liverpool could lose Alisson, Fabinho and Firmino against United

The Premier League continue their COVID-19 policy for South American internationals in the midst of the ongoing pandemic. Brazil will call up Firmino, Fabinho and Alisson and all three will lose the vital league clash against Manchester United.

While in times gone by the competition managed to stop players being called up to the national team, they won't be able to do anything in this case after FIFA removed the option for teams to stop their players from being called up.

That's what 'Daily Mail' has explained, who confirmed that controversy awaits the early clash between United and Liverpool, which will take place after the international break. If there are no changes in this regard, called up players will have to undergo a period of quarantine upon returning to the UK. It doesn't look like they plan to relax this restriction either, as the spread of the virus continues to worsen in South America. 

Those three players won't be the only ones affected for the situation planned for September. Fred could be missing for United, Raphinha for Leeds, Thiago Silva for Chelsea, Ederson and Gabriel Jesus for City and Richarlison for Everton. Interestingly, the Premier League awaits the squad lists for Uruguay, Argentina and Colombia, countries that could lead to more significant absenties due to similar quarantine measures.
