Premier League players who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will be able to travel to red-list countries during the upcoming international break after the last window was plagued by controversy and chaos caused by coronavirus-related restrictions.

The BBC reported players will be able to train and play during their 10-day quarantine period when they return from nations, including Argentina and Brazil.

They will be quarantined at "bespoke facilities" for the 10 days, according to the BBC.

The announcement comes as the Premier League attempts to avoid a repeat of the last international break, where it refused to release players who were due to represent their countries in red-list nations.

It sparked a clash with FIFA and led to four National Associations initially banning their players from featuring for their clubs before they withdrew their complaints.

Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur did allow their Argentinian players to travel for FIFA World Cup qualifiers but that led to farcical scenes as the country's away clash with Brazil was abandoned after health officials from the host nation stormed onto the pitch.

They had accused the four players from the two clubs - Villa's Emiliano Martínez and Emiliano Buendía, and the Spurs duo of Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso - of falsifying documents after arriving from Britain, a country which requires a 14-day quarantine for visitors to Brazil.

While the Premier League and UK Government have hailed the move, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has claimed it "does not sound like a real solution".

"It's 10 days' quarantine, allowed to play the games, allowed to go to work, not allowed to live at home but don't need to live in a hotel chosen by any authorities and you can choose it yourself," Klopp said. 

"Food has to be delivered in front of your room door.

"You're not allowed any visitors.

"That would mean for the players after the international break that they go for 10-12 days with their national teams and then they go another 10 days into quarantine away from their families. 

"That's 22 days and two weeks later there is the next international break.

"It doesn't sound to me like a real solution."
