Premier League clubs are expected to reject a request from the Argentina Football Association not to use La Alviselest's World Cup call-up in the club's final round ahead of the tournament in Qatar.
Premier League matches will run until the weekend of 12/13 November, a week before the start of the season and nine days before Argentina play their first match in Group C. Argentina have a friendly against hosts Qatar on November 16 and it seems they want the players to report as soon as possible to ensure maximum fitness. However, FIFA rules require clubs not to release players until November 14.
According to the Daily Mail, the AFA have contacted the Premier League club and asked for the footballer's early release before the World Cup. However, the anonymous team declined and informed others who may receive similar requests. They say any club will leave the AFA if they continue.
the club stand Competition between countries has affected many Premier League players and manager Lionel Scaloni recently added 49 names to his World Cup reserve list, eight of whom have played for England.
The long list includes Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnazzo, Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez and Emiliano Buendia. Tottenham defender Christian Romero is also on the list and could be included in the final, and Brighton's Alexis McAllister will be in Argentine colors this year.
Manchester City's Julian Alvarez and Bournemouth's Marcos Senesi finished in the top eight.
It is the eternal problem that originates when the calendars are very poorly done and the organization of a World Cup is very marked by commercial interests.
It is impossible to subject the players to the stress of playing a World Cup without a previous rest. There are players who have been playing in the Champions League this week and the World Cup should start in two weeks. It is unusual and as Maradona already said several decades ago, FIFA does not minimally protect the interests of the players. Not even the cheap ones. Because if a player suffers a serious injury or cannot play in the World Cup, as is already happening to more than one, the value of his record drops a lot.
Even for the same coaches of each selection. Before, they had thirty days to be with the players, get to know them and understand how to organize the team to make them perform better.
In this World Cup they won't even be able to do that.
