Premier League clubs are hopeful their players will be available this weekend despite four nations triggering a rule to prevent them from playing.
Players who did not travel after being called up by Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay and Chile have been banned for five days under Fifa regulations.
Officials are in talks with Fifa to try and find a way round the issue.
Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Leeds, Chelsea, Wolves, Newcastle and Watford are affected.
Eight players from five clubs have been affected by Brazil's decision alone, which follows a similar move by Mexico, Paraguay and Chile last week.
