These procedures strictly comply with the current regulations,” explaining, “The World Cup qualifiers are a competition belonging to FIFA. All decisions related to its organization and development are made by it.”
The Brazilian national team suffers from wholesale absences, most notably the nine players who play in the English Premier League, after the Premier League refused to allow international players to play matches on the international agenda in countries outside the red list, otherwise they will have to spend a 10-day isolation period after their return from participating in the matches.
The Russian Zenit duo, striker Malcom and Claudinho, are also absent, after the Russian club’s management refused their continuation in the Seleção team.
As for the Peruvian team, it seeks to win despite the difficulty of the task, in order to advance in the standings, to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, after returning to participate in the last World Cup 2018 after a long absence.
