DBasia.news – Fabinho explained that Liverpool are considering flying him and Alisson straight to Spain after their time with Brazil, to avoid quarantine issues in England.
Although the British government removed Brazil from the red list for travel earlier this week, the Brazilian national team traveled to Venezuela and Colombia this month.
Those countries are still restricted from re-entering the UK, with those traveling asked to be quarantined for 10 days upon their return.
Exceptions were made for footballers, allowing their isolation to occur within a club environment, leaving once a day to train or play, but the problem persists for those scheduled to play outside England.
Fabinho and Alisson fall into that category, as they will likely not be able to return to England and then travel to Spain for the Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid on October 19.
However, speaking to reporters ahead of Brazil’s meeting with Uruguay in Manaus, the midfielder discussed the possibility of flying straight to Spain when their international duties end.
“With everything involved, the journey, I don’t know how much time we will have between one game and another,” he said, effectively ruling himself out of this weekend’s away game against Watford.
“We also need to be quarantined, but the club is still obersing whether it is better to go straight to Spain to play against Atletico and quarantine there, without staying in a hotel in England.”
