FIFA have pushed back the deadline for clubs to release players ahead of this winter’s Africa Cup of Nations, giving the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United at least one more game with their stars from the continent.
The original timeline demanded that all eligible players be allowed to join up with their countries from Monday, Dec. 8. As Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed this week, that date has been shunted back seven days to the following Monday, Dec. 15.
