Cavani to miss Uruguay matches by British decision
Manchester United confirmed today, Monday, that Uruguayan international striker Edinson Cavani will miss the next three matches for his country in the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, due to health restrictions imposed on travel outside the United Kingdom.
Cavani was canceled by his country's federation for the next three matches scheduled in early September against Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador.
All players wishing to play in a country included in the UK government's red list must spend 10 days in quarantine upon returning to a hotel selected by the government.
Another complication that international players in South America recently faced is related to the extension of their international window period for two days by the International Federation of the Game (FIFA), to compensate for the accumulated delay from last March, and therefore a third match will be held on the ninth of September, a few hours before the start of the game. European Championships Appeal.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected an appeal by the Spanish League over FIFA's decision to extend the international window in September. Premier League clubs last week refused to allow their players to join their national teams, but Aston Villa agreed to allow Argentines Emiliano Martinez and Emiliano Buendia to travel, on the condition that they miss Argentina's third match against Bolivia.
Tottenham Hotspur's Argentine internationals Christian Romero and Giovanni Lo Celso were seen on social media at an airport alongside Martinez and Buendia.
On the other hand, Brazil's Liverpool, Alisson Becker, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino, will remain in England to deprive the Seleção of their services, similar to the Egyptian international team striker Mohamed Salah, who will not join the Pharaohs camp.
“In addition to the fact that they will miss the (English Premier League) matches, we cannot imagine that our players will miss training for ten days (upon their return) by being quarantined in a hotel, and being injured by returning to the stadium,” Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp explained. stadiums."
