Brazil’s health agency Anvisa blamed the Brazilian and Argentine football federations and South American football body CONMEBOL for the chaos that halted Sunday’s World Cup qualifying match between the archrivals. 


The match was interrupted when an Anvisa agent and a policeman walked on to the pitch at NeoQuimica Arena to remove four Argentina players who the agency says should be in quarantine. Later the match was suspended. 


Emiliano Martinez, Cristian Romero, Giovanni Lo Celso and Emiliano Buendia are EPL players who were in the UK in the previous 14 days upon their arrival 
in Brazil. They are investigated for allegedly providing false information.
