Aston Villa confirmed on Monday afternoon that goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and record signing Emiliano Buendia have both been named in the Argentina squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
And, as to be expected, a number of Villa supporters have been reacting to the update on social media.
Martinez and Buendia are set to be involved for their country in three World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela, Brazil and Bolivia next month.
However, that could have a knock-on effect for when they return to the Midlands.
Argentina is currently on the UK Government's red list regarding travel to England, meaning a 10-day period of hotel isolation would be required for the pair before players can return to Villa.
Sky Sports reported on Monday that clubs could prevent their players from travelling to red list countries unless an exemption can be made regarding quarantine.
But as it stands, it appears as if Martinez and Buendia will be representing their country next month.
Villa fans react
Villa posted the news regarding Martinez and Buendia on their official Twitter page. This is what these Villa fans had to say in reply, with one labelling it as ‘shocking’.
“Oh no”
“Shocking”
“Noooooo”
“This is not good news.”
“Not happy with this. Frustrating we could be losing some of our best players for at least 1 game if not more.”
“No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no No no no no no no no no no”
