This is really going to throw Conmebol for a loop. Brazil and Argentina both on the red list. Almost all of South America.

Premier League clubs have today reluctantly but unanimously decided not to release players for international matches played in red-list countries next month

From what I've read, the players weren't that excited about going. Also screw FIFA for trying to schedule 3 matches in one week, three weeks into the season, after two major international tournaments. This just keeps a lot of those players from coming up with fake injuries so they don't have to go. This is great news for my team since we'd potentially be without 4-5 starters if required to quarantine.

Just about every other country in CONCACAF is on the list.
