EPL clubs cleared to field South American players

But the Press Association reports all countries involved waived the bans.

Alisson, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino (Liverpool and Brazil)

Ederson and Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City and Brazil)

Thiago Silva (Chelsea and Brazil)

Raphinha (Leeds and Brazil)

Fred (Manchester United and Brazil)

Miguel Almiron (Newcastle and Paraguay)

Raul Jimenez (Wolves and Mexico)

Francisco Sierralta (Watford and Chile)
