Everton to benefit from Brazil being removed from the travel red list
Everton are set to benefit from the UK Government’s decision to remove Brazil from the travel red list.
At the moment, players flying out to either play for Brazil or in Brazil have to quarantine on arrival back into the UK.
This has caused huge problems for Liverpool and other Premier League teams, but it appears as if the Toffees won’t have to deal with the consequences should Richarlison or Allan get called up, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Good news for the Toffees.
Everton were already in favour with the Brazilian FA after they allowed Richarlison to play in the Olympics, so he was allowed to miss the September international break [Sky Sports].
Then he was injured for the last one, and with this rule change, the Toffees shouldn’t be impacted by travel red lists going forward in regards to Richarlison.
The 24-year-old has only made six appearances for his country, but he already seems to have become an important player after scoring five goals in those games.
Therefore, this rule change is good news for the Toffees and Brazil as it should allow the club and the FA to keep up their strong relationship.
The Toffees can also now allow Richarlison and possibly Allan to go and play for their country with no risk of them missing any league games because of quarantine.
So we can imagine that this news has probably gone down rather well at Goodison Park and probably across the Premier League as well.
In other Everton news, a report has revealed what position Benitez wanted to improve in the summer but couldn’t.
