Albion trio Maty Ryan, Aaron Mooy and Alireza Jahanbakhsh have had their international commitments in March and June put in doubt.

FIFA has confirmed the 2022 World Cup qualifying matches in Asia due to be played later this month and in June have been postponed.

However, there is scope for individual national associations to still stage matches in the March and June international breaks if they mutually agreed to, and that the safety of all individuals met the required standards.

FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation would also have to give their approval to any match going ahead.

FIFA said: "FIFA and the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) will continue to assess the situation in relation to COVID-19 and will decide whether further changes to the schedule of Asian FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers are required, always with the aim of protecting the safety and health of all individuals involved."

Australia, who Mooy and Ryan are regulars for, are due to play against Kuwait, Nepal, Jordan and Chinese Taipei in March and June while Jahanbakhsh’s Iran were scheduled to face Hong Kong, Cambodia, Bahrain and Iraq.

The qualifiers for the men's and women's Olympic football tournament are set to be played as scheduled, with the exception of the women's qualifying play-off between South Korea and China which has been postponed until the June international window.
