Villa Players on International Duty - Covid impacts

[SoccerHQ]

We tried to be friendly and do the right thing given both players are still fairly new to international set up and very important to us (so makes sense not to p*** them off).

Argentina thrown it right back in our faces.

Zero chance we release either for next round of matches imo.

Other than threatening them with being dropped, there's not a lot we can do to stop them to be honest. We didn't want them to go this time, but they just went anyway.

Talk they are being released after this game tonight.

No other prem team other than us and Spurs have Argentine players? Mind you probably the case as I still thought Otamendi was a Man. City player looking at their team tonight and he left Man. City a year ago.

Just annoying likes of Man. United can click their fingers and Cavani gets pulled out of Uruguay squad. Same for Chelsea with Thiago Silva.

Brazil will probably want to call Douglas Luiz for next rounds aswell as probably agreed he could be rested for this given he's been involved all summer.

To add to the chaos some health officials just ran onto the pitch and demanding game is called off apparently!

What a waste of time.

Apparently police on the pitch trying to detain the four players!!

Why on earth weren't they just sent back at the airport?

[Risso]

What an absolute shit show. Serves them right, mind.

Are our players going to end up in prison, now?

They'll be in the Rio jail with the ghost of Ronnie Biggs for sure.

Unbelievable scenes, Jeff.

[London Villan]

The four will be deported. Sooner the better hopefully!

How can the Argentinian FA not know the rules? Absolute insanity.

Makes me even more grateful that my elder son was able to enter Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) on Wednesday evening!

Those "it's only two games, that's a fair compromise" posts have aged well.
