According to the British press, Tottenham will sanction the players Dávinson Sánchez, Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso for having left the country to play the South American Qualifying matches with their respective national teams.
Now, the Argentines face a more complicated situation due to the incidents that occurred in the qualifying match for the Qatar World Cup 2022 between Brazil and Argentina and which was suspended by the health authorities of the South American country.
Five minutes into the meeting, members of the Brazilian health authorities took to the field to interrupt the match due to the alleged illegal arrival of Lo Celso, Romero, Emiliano Buendía and Emiliano Martínez, Aston Villa players, to the country by not complying with the Mandatory quarantine for UK passengers.
This incident has not pleased the London team at all, since they were opposed in the first instance to letting the players go, but they had no option as they were forced by the rest of the entities.
Now, the situation of the Argentines was not clear at all. While Dávinson had been released early by Colombia to return to European territory, nothing was known about Romero and Lo Celso, since the plan was that when they left Brazil they would travel to Croatia to avoid the mandatory quarantine in ten-day hotels that they should perform in the UK. Contrary to this, they traveled with the delegation to their native Argentina.
Even two other teammates of his in the Albiceleste who also play in the Premier, Emiliano Buendía and Emiliano Martínez, were released by Lionel Scaloni to return with their Aston Villa team.
However, in the afternoon, the AFA reported that both the central defender and the midfielder were finally disaffected for this Thursday’s match against Bolivia. Everything was then ready for his return.
For now, Sánchez, Romero and Lo Celso are expected to miss Tottenham’s next two games: Crystal Palace in the Premier and Rennes in the Conference League. Something that undoubtedly has the team leaders very angry. Hence the harsh sanction that lies ahead. It is not yet known if it will be only economic or also sporty.
