Premier League clubs will reject Argentina’s request to leave their players out of the final round of matches before the World Cup.
Sportsmail can reveal that one English club have already been asked by the Argentinian FA to release a player early for the tournament in Qatar this month — and dismissed it out of hand.
It is understood the club have informed other Premier League teams affected by the club-v-country clash, and any further requests by Argentina will be met with firm resistance.
