Covid chaos in Brazil as health authorities DETAIN Premier League quartet playing for Argentina DURING the match after they failed to comply with quarantine rules

Brazil's World Cup qualifier against Argentina has been sensationally suspended after authorities stormed the pitch to detain several Premier League players.

According to several reports, Tottenham's Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso and Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez and Emi Buendia were sought by the Brazilian authorities for allegedly failing to follow the country's Covid-19 quarantine protocols.

The players reportedly did not quarantine as is required for entrants into Brazil from the UK, although CONMEBOL is said to have understood that the players were exempt from quarantining.
