Blackburn reach agreement with Chile over use of Ben Brereton Diaz in October international break as precedent is set for Premier League clubs

Blackburn have reached an agreement with the Chilean football federation over the release of Ben Brereton Diaz in the October international break.

In a possible sign of things to come with the Premier League's South American stars, the Championship side announced they had reached a compromise with Chile whereby he will play in their first two qualifiers next month against Peru and Paraguay on October 6 and 9 but miss the final qualifier of the window against Venezuela on October 13.

Rovers said he would return to the UK after the Paraguay game to 'begin any required quarantine period and limiting the number of games he would miss for his club'.
