Argentina are set to ask club sides not to field their players in the final game before the World Cup, according to a report.

The month-long tournament is set to begin on November 20 in Qatar, with Premier League games and other matches around Europe taking place up until the week before the first game.

But according to Doble Amarilla, Argentina will ask for their tournament-bound players not to be involved that weekend, which could cause issues for a number of teams.
