clubs, and the clubs have already agreed not to release their players who play in the countries in UK government’s coronavirus red list.

These English clubs have made this decision about releasing their players for October international break to avoid facing problems with the return of their players from national duty.

Two of these eight players who have been called up by Brazil are

players Gabriel Jesus and Ederson, and the Citizens boss has been asked about the matter and he says that although he would be happy to let the players go and help their national team, the new rules will not allow that to happen.

He said:

"I don't know anything. What I will say is that we are more than grateful for the Brazil players to go to their national team, like we always have been and like we always will be. There is the rule or law that you have to (let them go) but it is also a pleasure.

"But I don't know if it's going to happen, the pandemic situation all around the world is still there. Hopefully the authorities - the Premier League, the governments, the Brazilian federation - can find a solution that perfectly suits both sides. That's what we want.

"The federations and governments just need to sit, talk and find a solution for the benefit of the players, the clubs and the Brazil national team."
