Aston Villa boss Dean Smith is confident an agreement will be in place that will mean his players will be available to play as soon as they return to the UK form international duty without having to quarantine.
A number of Premier League clubs refused to release their South American players for international duty last month because they would have had to quarantine for 10 days on their return.
Argentina's Emiliano Martinez, who was released for international duty last month, and Marvelous Nakamba of Zimbabwe will be travelling to and from red list countries.
"My understanding is at the moment the authorities and the government are working together to come up with a bespoke sporting agreement where players can go and play and we can actually bring them back and they can play in the game when they come back as well," Smith said.
"But obviously, with the safety of everybody as paramount importance because we don't want any more of this spreading around so I'm hopeful that there will be an agreement in place."
