On Monday, Brazil coach Tite expressed optimism that nine of his players in the English Premier League will be available for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Argentina has almost all of its 30-man team — including four England players — available for Thursday's qualifier against Venezuela.
21 players have arrived in Sao Paulo for the qualifiers against Chile, Argentina, and Peru, according to the Brazilian Football Confederation. Later in the day, more were expected.
Tite prepared a 45-man team in case he couldn't depend on the nine England-based players who were unable to travel: Alisson, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino (Liverpool), Ederson, Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City), Thiago Silva (Chelsea), Fred (Manchester United), Richarlison (Everton), Raphinha (Everton) (Leeds).
The Premier League teams made their choice based on the British government's red-listing of South American countries owing to the pandemic. The players would have to spend ten days in hotel quarantine upon their return to the United Kingdom, with minimal possibility of practicing.
