Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is unsure if his Brazilian players will make their clash at Leeds United.
Klopp was asked today about whether he has had any update on whether his trio of Brazilian players, Roberto Firmino, Fabinho and Alisson will be able to face Leeds on Sunday.
He said, "Bobby (Firmino) will not be available but that is because of his injury from the last game. It's a really difficult situation and it's really tricky for all the clubs and players especially. We should not forget in this moment that the players wanted to play these games. The clubs wanted to let players go but it was just not possible.
"It looks like the real punishment is for the players because they can't play. That's what they do, that's what they love to do. That's really not ok. The world is still in a pandemic. In some moments it looks like it's not, but we get a reminder. The football players so far get exemptions which haven't lead to any spread in cities because of all the things we do during the week. It's completely different to society out there. We get tested three times a week.
"Brazil won all three games, but still there is a complaint to Fifa and we are told we cannot play the players. We still don't know who we can line up at the weekend but that is the smallest problem."
