With just over a year to go until the start of the 2022 World Cup, the South American Qualifiers will reach the halfway stage during September’s matches.
Each side will play three times in a hectic round as they continue their quests to reach a place among football’s elite.
Coronavirus hasn’t just impacted the fixture list this month but also the squad selections, with the majority of the English based players not being able to travel.
Some nations have still called up players despite this, as the country’s governing bodies ask FIFA to step in and help.
Please note: all the squads below are regularly being updated as players are forced to withdraw and others are called up.
