Brazil’s health agency said three of Argentina’s England-based players should have been in quarantine instead of playing in the match. Antonio Barra Torres, the president of Brazil’s health agency, Anvisa, said four Argentina players would be fined and deported for breaching Brazil’s COVID-19 protocols. The four had been ordered to quarantine by Brazil’s health agency ahead of the match. “At that meeting, Anvisa and local health authorities determined the players should quarantine,” Anvisa said. “We wanted to play the match, so did the Brazilians.”Both national soccer associations issued statements to criticize the move by Brazil’s health agency.
