Villa Players on International Duty - Covid impacts

[Risso]

They'll probably not play him again in the next match, then will select him against Bolivia (who are terrible), just to make a point and piss us off.

Yep

Given everything that's going on the common sense thing from national teams would be to only call up 23 players, no one benefits from Buendia travelling halfway across the world to do a few training sessions.

Was reading that zenit recalled two Brazilian players so they can play vs chelsea. Therefore if they continue to play silly buggers with us recall them before the Argentina game. Start playing ball Argentina

[Smithy]

I will be very surprised if Buendia returns having not won his first cap.  If he DOES return capless, then I think it makes our position much easier to enforce during the next round of games (assuming we still have the red-list restrictions in place)

Apparently they might have to go into 2 weeks quarantine in Brazil. Why the fuck we rolled over for our tummy tickles on this one I really don't get.

There is now little doubt we will take a hit in the short term. It will cost us points.

I thought Dougie stayed behind?

He did. This is the Emis, they are playing in Brazil.

I see, what a bloody nightmare.

By the time they're available again, the next international games will be upon us. Complete farce. It is the clubs the players are contracted to and who are paying their wages.

[Flin5tone]

It's an absolute disgrace and as said above the time they are due to play again we will have another International Break.

All this for a World Cup that shouldn't be happening.

Buendia not even on bench again.

[Monty]

Buendia not even on bench again.

Thanks so much there to the arsehole Argentina manager with the name of a dyslexic onion.
