An unexpected last-minute problem is affecting Reinaldo Rueda’s payroll to face the matches against Peru and Venezuela, for the third and fourth dates of the Qatar 2022 South American Qualifiers.
This because Sky Sports reported a few minutes ago that the Italian health authorities will prevent footballers who play in the A league and that they were nominated to play for their national team in the knockout matches, they will not be able to leave the country.
In that sense, the publication points out that the South American footballers who play in Fiorentina, Inter Milan, Sassuolo, Genoa, Lazio, Rome and Juventus will not be able to leave the country, since in recent days positive cases of coronavirus have increased.

In this way, the Chilean team will be affected if this decision is upheld, because Alexis and Vidal They are the two most prominent players of the so-called Golden Generation. Erick Pulgar adds to this dilemma. In addition, we must remember the absences due to injury of Gary Medel and Charles Aránguiz.
It is worth mentioning that each The South American Federation will be able to contact the local health authorities that correspond to each club and thus be able to assess the cases individually and obtain the authorization or not to be able to leave Italy and join the training sessions with his national team.

Alarm in the ANFP
The news that started as a rumor in Europe was gaining strength, and reached the corridors of the ANFP, where they are already alert and trying to solve the mess so that Alexis and Vidal can be in the important qualifying duels, according to Quilín to RedGol.
From ANFP they affirm to our media that the problem is real, and that there is an intention of the aforementioned Italian clubs not to let their players leave for South America, a fact that is not yet official, and that work continues on this matter so that that measure do not become reality.
The time difference is the main inconvenience at this point, since the conversations with the representatives of the Italian teams have not been fluid, therefore for now the presence of Vidal and Sánchez, among others, in the elimination duels cannot be ruled out.
In the ANFP, there was even the idea of issuing a statement to explain the problem, according to RedGol, although this did not advance because they are waiting for Conmebol to officially clarify the situation that some selected ones are going through.
Let’s remember that the Red will play next Friday, at the National Stadium, against Peru. Then, you must travel to Venezuela to close the double date of these South American Qualifiers.
