International Blues: Where And When Are They In Action?

A host of Everton players have been called up by their respective nations at both senior and youth level during the break from domestic action.

Our guide below details when and where the Blues stars will represent their countries. All kick-off times are BST.

While initially selected, Richarlison will not take part in Brazil's FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers against Chile, Argentina and Peru - in line with the Premier League-wide agreement to not release players to play in red-list countries.

Due to the same reason, Alex Iwobi will be available for Nigeria’s game against Liberia in Lagos on Friday 3 September, before heading back to the UK before the Super Eagles' trip to Cape Verde, which is also on the red list.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, meanwhile, has been forced to withdraw from the England squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers after sustaining a thigh strain in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Premier League Statement

Premier League clubs have reluctantly but unanimously decided not to release players for international matches played in red list countries next month.
 
The clubs’ decision, which is strongly supported by the Premier League, will apply to nearly 60 players from 19 Premier League clubs who are due to travel to 26 red list countries in the September international window.
 
This follows FIFA’s current position not to extend its temporary release exception for players required to quarantine on their return from international duty.
