Xela Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 So they will have to now quarantine 14 days in Brazil, then back to the UK and quarantine for 10 days here? They'll clear quarantine just in time for the next international game they have on 7th October, in Paraguay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 This is a complete shambles. Argentina FA are a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I didn't realise they'd already travelled. Yeah, this is bad. Brazil in a mess with covid. Their government would probably quite like the easy win of taking Argentina's goalkeeper out of their match while showing the public they're taking restrictions seriously. This could be a case we now have with FIFA if it comes to it. Our players have travelled and not been looked after at all. Basically been thrown into quarantine. Clearly as well...this all could have been avoided and they could have come back after the first game and still just miss the one PL game as was planned.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 It has been sorted. Either way, as far as I know they can't legally be held in Brazil. They just couldn't enter Brazil. So no, it wouldn't have meant 24 days isolation in 2 different countries, there would have been zero point them staying in Brazil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why isolate there if have no intention of staying? Just head back to Argentina. Pack your shit and get the hell out of there.

So to clarify are they being sent back to Argentina or have they done a deal so they play and then leave ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) One thing is for sure, it's caused an unnecessary drama and headache for the club. I was in favour of letting them go originally, but I think this should all count as a lesson learned for the club, et al. The majority of other clubs clearly didn't trust the South American FAs (and/or protocols) enough to release their players for these games; it seems we shouldn't have either.

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted September 5, 2021 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2021 The problem here is the build up of fixtures caused by the Covid delay and the stupid World Cup. There isn't time in the calendar for everything. Football is so greedy that no one was prepared to take a step back for the good of the game. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) All to hold a disruptive, morally repugnant World Cup in the middle of our season.

Club were in a difficult position. Spurs too. It seems to me this is down to the Argentina manager being a word removed. Putting pressure on players by saying they’d be dropped if missed qualifiers. All very unnecessary considering the circumstances. Edited September 5, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a small bit of pressure on Villa players in a similar situation and the club will release them. Think we need to toughen up and suffer the consequences if the players aren't happy. Other clubs are willing to do it, like it or not we need to act bigger now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 can someone do an updated breakdown of when they'll be isolating and what games they'll be missing please, someone did a worst case scenario one a few pages back but it looks like things have changed since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
