Premier League clubs are reportedly planning to ignore FIFA's demands not to play their 'banned' South and Central American players in matches this weekend. There are 11 players due to be suspended from playing this weekend by FIFA after they failed to appear for their international sides when their clubs refused to send them to red-list countries. Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea were set to be the hardest hit following a backlash from South American nations who attempted to take revenge when top-flight clubs blocked their stars from travelling. Premier League clubs are reportedly planning to ignore FIFA's demands not to play their 'banned' South and Central American players in matches this weekend Fabinho is also among the 11 Premier League players banned from featuring this weekend As a result, FIFA invoked a 'five-day' restriction on those involved, which would include Liverpool's Brazilian trio Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino, opponents Leeds's Raphinha, Manchester City's Ederson and Gabriel Jesus, Chelsea's Thiago Silva and Manchester United's Fred. The other three players affected were Wolves striker Raul Jimenez of Mexico, Newcastle's Paraguay forward Miguel Almiron and Watford's Francisco Sierralta, of Chile. Not only would some of those players miss this weekend's Premier League games, they would also be prevented from playing in the Champions League in midweek. But, according to The Sun, Premier League cubs have agreed that they will not make any complaints if their rivals field those players that should be banned. It comes after Premier League chief executive Richard Masters wrote to clubs and suggested a resolution is in sight on Wednesday. Jurgen Klopp admitted on Friday he was unsure if Alisson and Fabinho could play at Leeds Thiago Silva would miss Chelsea's next two games due to FIFA's 'five-day restriction' He said four national associations complained to FIFA and added that the top flight has been locked in talks with both the governing body, the government and the Football Association. Those talks have not provided a resolution with less than 24 hours until the first game of the Premier League weekend. WHAT IS FIFA'S FIVE-DAY RULE? FIFA regulations state that, if enforced, a player can be ruled out five days after an international break should their clubs refuse to release them to play for their country. The rule was designed to prevent clubs from tactically withdrawing their players in order to protect them for upcoming club matches immediately after the international fixtures. In full, the FIFA rulebook states: 'A player who has been called up by his association for one of its representative teams is, unless otherwise agreed by the relevant association, not entitled to play for the club with which he is registered during the period for which he has been released or should have been released pursuant to the provisions of this annexe, plus an additional period of five days.' Advertisement The 20 Premier League clubs had a conference call on Thursday and it was decided the league would take no action against clubs if they were to play the 'banned' players. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was still uncertain on Friday morning over whether Alisson and Fabinho will be able to face Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday. Firmino is in the same situation but is still recovering from an injury he suffered before the international break and is set to miss the game against Leeds in any case. Asked about the availability of the trio at his pre-match press conference, Klopp said: 'No. Bobby will not be available because of injury. It's a really difficult situation. it's really tricky for all the clubs and players especially. The players wanted to play, the clubs wanted to let the players go. 'We couldn't do that but now it looks like the real punishment is for the players and of course the clubs as well. That's really not ok. We didn't decide the players have to go. The world is in a pandemic still. We have to be on top of that until the end of the pandemic. The football players have got very often exemptions and that didn't often lead to spreads in cities. 'Because of all the things we do, we get tested three times a week. There was no solution and what FIFA and CONMEBOL did, they decided that we put in another matchday. They played this morning at 1.30. Brazil won all three games but there are still complaints. 'Before the last international break I had a meeting with Arsene Wenger and they showed me the plans for the World Cup and in that moment I got the message there is no exemption from the government from the players and we agreed the players cannot go. This is the situation and we don't know who we can line up at the weekend. Next time there could be 10-15 other countries on the red list, it's possible there will be the same problem with all the players and we will get the punishment for something we're not influential in.' Ederson would be out for City and with Zack Steffen out they will rely on veteran Scott Carson FIFA president Gianni Infantino had written to Prime Minister Boris Johnson to request exemptions for players due to play in 'red list' countries during the international break United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer described the situation as 'a farce', with Fred possibly missing the fixtures against Newcastle and Young Boys. Solskjaer said: 'Lose, lose situation, national teams, players, clubs, it's been a farce, really. The players want to play but we all know what kind of situation we find ourselves in the last year and a half with the pandemic, to limit the spread of the virus, we've worked really hard to try and find a way, private jets, there are ways of getting them in and out but all of the decisions have gone against the players, want to play for national teams and clubs but not allowed. 'I'm disappointed with the whole thing, common sense might not be common anymore. Fingers crossed, some sense comes into people's minds.' City boss Pep Guardiola said: 'Right now at 1:35 it's still not clear. Hopefully they can play. we are going to wait until tomorrow. I don't understand the situation. I don't know what we can do.' Bizarrely, Brazil will definitely allow Richarlison to feature for Everton against Burnley on Monday after the Toffees gave permission for him to play in the Olympics this summer when they weren't forced to.
