BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything team looks into whether clubs get compensated when their player gets injured on international duty.
Clubs whose players suffer injuries on international duty are awarded compensation by Fifa in certain circumstances. Bruno Fernandes, Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak, Kai Havertz and Kylian Mbappe are among players already injured during the extended September/October international break.
If a player sustains a new injury preventing them from training or playing for a minimum of 28 days, their club is entitled to compensation from the Fifa Club Protection Programme. The package, based on a player's salary, covers breaks where international "A" matches are played on the international match calendar.
The eligible period starts when a player leaves their club's address for international duty and ends at midnight on the day they return or 48 hours after leaving their national team. A maximum of 7.5m euros can be compensated at a daily rate of 20,548 euros. Compensation is paid directly to clubs by Fifa, covering only salary, not bonuses or one-off payments.
