Graham Roberts has said on Twitter that Nuno’s Tottenham Hotspur and Dean Smith’s Aston Villa should bring back Emiliano Buendia, Emiliano Martinez, Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero from Brazil right now.
What’s the story?
Last night’s 2022 World Cup qualifier between Brazil and Argentina saw some rather farcical scenes.
Officials came onto the pitch to stop the game and wanted to get Villa’s Martinez and Tottenham duo Lo Celso and Romero out, as reported by BBC Sport.
Why?
Well, according to the report, Brazil’s health officials believe that the Villa and Tottenham players had broken quarantine rules.
Buendia, Martinez, Lo Celso and Romero all had to guarantee for 14 days because they have been in the UK in the past 14 days.
Attacking midfielder Buendia was not on the bench, while the other three Premier League players started for Argentina.
What does Graham Roberts think?
Former Tottenham star Roberts believes that all the four players should be brought back immediately to England.
What happens now?
The match between Brazil and Argentina was suspended.
Argentina have yet another game this week, and it remains to be seen if Buendia, Martinez, Lo Celso and Romero will feature it.
