The match between Brazil and Argentina has been suspended due to the possible deportation of 4 players from the country

10 pm The qualifying match for the World Cup between Brazil and Argentina, which started in Lithuanian time, was canceled.

This is because the site was invaded by representatives of the Brazilian Department of Health to deport 4 Argentine players who lied about the COVID-19 protocol to enter the country.

Those players include Premier League clubs Emiliano Buendia and Emiliano Martínez of the Aston Villa duo, and Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero of Tottenham.

Updated at 11:10 pm The match will not be played today, announced CONEMBOL.

The Brazil-Argentina match is closed today: CONEMBOL says the referee and the match delegate will now present a report to the FIFA disciplinary committee

It is a FIFA game as it is a qualifier for the World Cup. https://t.co/nMiMzzGwD6
