Argentina to ask clubs not to play World Cup players in final week before break?

Argentina are set to ask clubs to rest their players in the final week before the World Cup begins.

While the World Cup is set to start on November 20, Europe's major leagues are scheduled to continue until a week before the first game of the tournament.

However, according to Doble Amarilla, Argentina are set to ask clubs for their World Cup players to be rested on the final weekend of domestic action ahead of the World Cup break.

Any decision could affect a number of sides across Europe, including the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

While discussions are set to take place with the players involved, the report indicates that Argentina's request would be denied.

Argentina will begin their World Cup campaign against Saudi Arabia on November 22 before rounding off the group stage with games against Mexico and Poland.
