The Manchester City duo Ederson and Gabriel Jesus can play against Leicester on Saturday, Thiago Silva is available at Chelsea, Manchester United can call Fred and Leeds Raphina, who missed out on the international debut.
The verdict could also have prevented players from competing in Champions League matches on Tuesday.
Earlier in Friday’s pre-match press conference, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola voiced displeasure over the situation.
Klopp said: “This is a very difficult situation and very difficult for all clubs, especially the players.
“At this moment, we must not forget that the players wanted to play these games, the clubs wanted to let the players go, but that was not possible.”
The English leading clubs did not want players to travel because they would have faced their return to the UK due to quarantine restrictions, which could have excluded them for 10 days.
Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel suggested that if the problem arises again during international breaks in the future, FIFA should consider changing the venue of the matches to avoid quarantine.
“Personally, I think a solution could be to move games from the red list to the green list countries,” Tuchel said. – As in the Champions League.
Everton striker Richarlison avoided the five-day ban as the Brazilian Football Association saw his situation differently after participating in the Olympics.
Everton had no obligation to allow the striker to participate in the Tokyo Games after participating in Copa America a few weeks earlier, but took a broader view of making the player and his team happy.
Wolves and Mexican striker Raul Jimenez, Newcastle Paraguayan midfielder Miguel Almiron and Watford’s Chilean Francisco Sierralta will also be free to play this weekend.
