FIFA has cleared players who were called up by Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Paraguay during the international break to play in the Premier League this weekend.
On Wednesday it was revealed that FIFA had invoked Article 5 to block Premier League clubs from selecting players who they had refused to release for the latest round of international fixtures, following a request from the Brazilian Football Confederation.
The request came after Premier League clubs unanimously agreed last month not to release players for international matches in countries on the UK Government's red list.
However, following extensive talks with FIFA, the FA and the Premier League, the associations of Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Paraguay agreed to waive the automatic five-day restriction they had the option of imposing.
In the Premier League this weekend, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to make his second Manchester United debut when they face Newcastle at 2am tomorrow, Manchester City faces Leicester City at 2am tomorrow, Arsenal plays Norwich at the same time while Liverpool will play Leeds United at 3.30am Monday.
