Brazil are unbeaten in the South American qualifying, leaving them well on course to feature in next year's World Cup in Qatar.

His involvement in the last set of Brazil fixtures saw him miss United's Premier League trip to Southampton due to the final qualifying match being held in the early hours of Friday morning.

No such clashes are expected this time around and with no more countries on England's travel red list from November 1, the Leeds player will not be required to quarantine on his return.
