# Aston Villa: Fans react to Buendia and Martinez update

**Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni is [expecting](https://twitter.com/RoyNemer/status/1433106758369689601) to have Aston Villa pair Emi Buendia and Emi Martinez for all three World Cup qualifiers during the international break.**

And a number of Villa supporters have been quick to give their thoughts to the latest update on social media.

Villa released a [statement](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/august/Mart-nez-and-Buend-a-join-up-with-Argentina/) over the weekend regarding Buendia and Martinez, claiming the pair would be available for matches against Venezuela and Brazil but not a third against Bolivia.

The arrangements Villa thought they had agreed on would mean both would [miss](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/august/Mart-nez-and-Buend-a-join-up-with-Argentina/) one Premier League game against Chelsea due to quarantine restrictions.

However, Scaloni, talking to the media, posted on Twitter by [Roy Nemer](https://twitter.com/RoyNemer/status/1433106758369689601), believes he will have both Buendia and Martinez available for selection for all three qualifiers.

> “We gave the list for the three matches and there’s no doubt about it. The players are here for the three matches.”
