A spokesman for Brazil’s health regulator Anvisa said: "These players arrived in Brazil on a flight from Caracas. The flight landed in Guarulhos (Sao Paulo).
There has been confusion and controversy over South American players travelling to the continent to play the World Cup qualifiers. The Premier League had initially said that players would not be allowed to travel to South America on international duty due to the high coronavirus rates on the continent. This has meant that Brazil have gone into the matches without the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Thiago Silva and Alisson. But Aston Villa allowed Buendia and Martinez to travel and play for their country, on the guarantee that they would miss their final game against Bolivia. Meanwhile Lo Celso and Romero defied orders from Tottenham not to join up with the Argentina squad. An understrength Brazil side is therefore taking on Argentina in the crucial qualifier. Brazil are now demanding that FIFA sanction the Premier League clubs that didn't release their players for the international matches. The last time the two sides met was in the Copa America final this summer, which Argentina won."They declared that they had not been in any of the four countries which are restricted for the past 14 days. Anvisa was warned about supposedly false information given by these players.
"After that, Anvisa sent a notification to CIEVS (institution in charge of Covid-19 restrictions in the state of Sao Paulo). We have to clarify that false information given to Brazilian authorities might be infractions of health laws of the country and might be an infraction of our criminal law."
