Could be a club verus country war brewing come May. A League is down for finals series in June, so looking like a clash with Socceroos.
Arnold is looking to pick a large squad of 34 players for AFC qualifiers, that is bound to include some A League players.
Maybe A League will go into a 3 week break? FFA Cup games? Given it already faces a huge off season before the 2022 A League (winter?) starts.
But then if you delay final series by a few weeks, risk clashing with pre Olympics (July-August) prep for Olyroos & Olywhites.
I presume by late May, any A League footballers would be eligible for the Covid vaccine, so could return to Aussie without 2 week MIQ requirement??

Graham Arnold revealed he is set to call on up to 34 players when the Socceroos reunite for the first time since November 2019.
Last week the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) confirmed that Kuwait will host Australia's remaining Group B FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ qualifiers in a centralised hub format.
With matches against Kuwait, Chinese Taipei, Nepal and Jordan slated to take place between 31 May and June 15, the Socceroos Head Coach is preparing to accommodate the challenges of such a tight schedule.
