The Premier League's Argentinian players are set to defy orders not to travel on international duty in a remarkable split between club and country.
Villa keeper Emi Martinez on Saturday night confirmed he was travelling to play despite the Premier League's refusal to release players and manager Dean Smith urging him to stay.
The club's £33million record signing Emi Buendia is expected to follow suit.
Sources close to the Argentinian FA have told The Mail on Sunday they are confident Tottenham duo Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero will also join up with the squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela, Brazil and Bolivia.
