South American national teams will again be asked to play an additional round of World Cup qualifiers in the upcoming international window, continental governing body CONMEBOL said on Monday.
As in the last window at the beginning of September, CONMEBOL will try to capture lost matches by squeezing in an extra round and teams will play on Thursday 7 October, Sunday 10 October and Thursday 14 October.
Brazil will now travel to Venezuela and Colombia before hosting Uruguay in the October break. Argentina travels to Paraguay before hosting Uruguay and Peru. The release of players by English clubs could still be an issue if British health officials still have South American countries on their red list.
