These 2 Premier League Clubs Are Angry at the Argentine National Team
Two Premier League clubs, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, were angry with the Argentine national team. This is because players from both clubs have not returned after playing in the Argentine national team. During the international break, clubs send their players to the national team. However, on the other hand, the players are also at risk of getting injured, including those experienced by the Argentine national team.
Sky Sports reported on Saturday (4/9/2021), Tottenham and Aston Villa sent some of their players to the Argentine national team. The Lilywhites invited Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso to leave, while Aston Villa also dispatched Emiliano Buendia and Emiliano Martinez. However, Aston Villa only sent their players for two World Cup Qualification matches. Aston Villa did not want to lose their valuable players, because they had to undergo isolation. While Tottenham are known to have realized the consequences, but still hope Romero and Lo Celso can return next week. Following UK government regulations, all arrivals are required to undergo isolation for 10 days, before being able to work. This includes players who are on international duty. If the age of the third World Cup Qualification match returns, then the players will miss one match. Therefore, both Tottenham and Aston Villa hope their players can return sooner.
