Next setback for Argentina after the injury of superstars; That demand will never be accepted
Argentina national team’s strategy to prepare the team before the World Cup is a huge setback. Argentina’s hopes of preparing the team with training and tactics ahead of the World Cup have been dealt a blow after the Premier League club took the stand that they cannot release the Argentine players at this time.
An unnamed Premier League club rejected the Argentina Football Association’s demand.
They have stated before the Argentine Football Association that they cannot release any Argentine player playing in their team. Other teams are likely to adopt the same stance.
The fixtures in the Premier League will last till the end of the second week of November. The Premier League fixture will end nine days before Argentina’s opening match.
The Football Association approached the Premier League clubs keeping this in mind.
FIFA’s proposal not to release any players before November 14 is also a setback for Argentina.
The news is reported in the Daily Mail.
The club vs national team debate may directly affect many Premier League players. Of the 49 players in coach Lionel Scoloni’s World Cup squad, eight are from the Premier League.
Manchester United superstars Lisandro Martinez, Alejandro Garnacho and Aston Villa star Emiliano Martinez are part of this long list.
Argentina’s first match in the Qatar World Cup is on November 23. Opponents are Saudi Arabia.
