Found this on the Forbes website from 2020. If a player lived in a country for 3 years under the age of 10, they are eligible;

"The new wording of FIFA’s regulations means that as well as living somewhere for five years after the age of 18, players who started living in a country before the age of 10 can be eligible after living there for three years, and those who started living there after the age of 10 can be eligible after five years."

From FIFA:
'In this respect, FIFA competition regulations consistently state that proof of “nationality” is only provided through the holding of a “permanent international passport”'

If he doesn't have citizenship he can't play. The regulation around years lived somewhere is used to deter countries from importing players for their national teams.
