as things stand, with Brazil vs Uruguay taking place in the early hours of the 13th October Liverpool will be without those 3 and utd will be without fred & Cavani (who at this point may have only played a couple of times as is)
In previous international breaks during the pandemic, FIFA introduced a temporary law that allowed clubs to refuse to release their players if they faced at least a five-day quarantine. That allowed Klopp to insist he would keep hold of his star trio. That will no longer apply.
'The temporary amendment was in place until April 2021 and is no longer in effect nor is it intended to be applied for September,' a FIFA spokesman told The Mail on Sunday.
Sources at the Department of Culture, Media & Sport suggest that, as things stand, players will not be granted exemptions, just like those returning from the Lions tour have been forced to quarantine.
surely there has to be some common sense applied here?

I will be incredibly disappointed if we finish below Liverpool. Our squad is now vastly superior. You're basically a first 11 and that's it. No wonder your players are dropping like flies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is incredibly myopic and imo also a bit clueless.
Unless of course you think the likes of Lindelof, Fred and Dan James are suddenly very good at football, which they're not.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How is it clueless? We finished above you last season because your squad isn't good enough to cope with injuries and we have added two world class players since in Varane and Sancho.
Lindelof is the new captain of Sweden and now our 3rd choice CB.
Fred has his limitations on the ball but off the ball be can be sensational. People don't give him credit for that stuff.
Dan James is like 6th choice with everyone fit and sharp.

6..OGS is fkn clueless
7..prems to quick for varane
8..what's wrong with bruno he's well off form
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this one of those 'bookmark this, we'll win the league by at least 10 points' predictions?

Because you've taken an unprecended amount of injuries for us during an 8 week period and applied it to an entire squad which is currently all fit and said they are dropping like flies.
I'd take our cb options and depth over Utd, midfield too and our front four for three positions is exceptionally strong.
Making out Lindelof is now good is laughable tbh and Dan James is not sixth choice at all is he.
Utd's midfield is rammal even with it's starters.
I mean we're all entitled to an opinion but let's not get silly eh.

Good attempt at a wum but you got a little too wild with your midfield being class and ours being ‘rammal’
And firmino exceptionally strong, pull the other one.

Last season was his worst and he pretty much averaged a goal contribution every other game. Did Martial?
What's in Utd's deep squad covering midfield? Mata, Periera and Lingard.
Who have Utd got behind AWB? Absolutely no-one.
As said, let's not get silly.

You have
Henderson
Fabinho
Thiago
AOC
Keita
Milner
Elliot
Jones
So outside your first 3 of which 1 is aging and picking up injuries, the other has always been injury prone then you have two kids, 2 sick notes and James Milner
We have
McT
Pogba
Bruno
Fred
DVB
Matic
Mata
Lingard
Garner
Periera
So yes you are being silly
Firmino out scored martial (who also had his worst season last season) by 2 goals despite playing significantly more than him….

I didn't say they were better options, I just don't think the likes of Mata, Lingard, Pereira and Matic are "vastly better" because they're not.
But you;re right, I did laugh, and that comment alone secures your status as a wum.
