According to L'Équipe this afternoon, players called up to compete in the 2022 World Cup would only be freed from their clubs one week before the tournament begins.
According to a letter acquired by L'Équipe that was handed out by UEFA last July to its 55 member associations, players would only be accessible from November 14.
