'We have nothing to do with it!': Jurgen Klopp reveals he STILL has NO IDEA if Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino can play against Leeds, as Liverpool boss vents his frustration at red-list Brazil row

Daily Mail | September 10, 2021

Premier League managers were still confused yesterday about whether they can call on their red-list stars this weekend.

Manchester City's Brazil duo Ederson and Gabriel Jesus travelled to Leicester with Pep Guardiola's squad, but Brazil have asked FIFA to invoke their five-day rule stopping players from representing their clubs if they do not report for international duty.

As well as Ederson and Jesus, the ban applies to Liverpool trio Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino, Leeds' Raphinha, Chelsea's Thiago Silva and Manchester United's Fred.

Jurgen Klopp still doesn't know if Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino can face Leeds

Manchester City could be without Ederson after he wasn't released to play for Brazil

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who could be without Fred, described the situation as 'a farce'

Chelsea may also be affected as experienced defender Thiago Silva could be unavailable

The Premier League were hopeful the issue would be resolved but as of yesterday evening there was still no word from FIFA.
