Premier League clubs will REJECT Argentina's request to leave their players out of the final round of games before the 2022 World Cup.

The World Cup in Qatar gets underway in just over two weeks, with Argentina kicking off their campaign on November 22.

And the Argentinian FA are hoping to have their players join up with the national team as soon as possible.

According to the Daily Mail, they've already asked one English club to release a player early ahead of the World Cup.

But their request was turned down and any further requests by Argentina will be met with 'firm resistance'.

England's top flight boasts six Argentina stars in Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho, Aston Villa's Emiliano Martínez and Emiliano Buendia, Tottenham's Cristian Romero and Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister.

It is understood that Argentina want their players to skip the Premier League fixtures on November 12/13 to begin their World Cup preparations early.

It comes after reports suggest Lionel Messi could request to skip Paris Saint-Germain's last match before the World Cup.

The 35-year-old has an 'Argentina clause' in his PSG contract, which allows him to prioritise international commitments over club duty.

Argentina manager Luis Scaloni spoke about his squad as he referenced former Premier League star Angel Di Maria and AS Roma's Paulo Dybala.

"We await more news from clubs to make our final decision," he said in a recent interview with ESPN.

"We still have time to communicate the list and we will see how the boys respond over the next week or two, but it is still a complicated situation for all of us.

"Given these circumstances, with several guys currently unable to play, we decided to wait until the last moment to make our announcement.

"My idea is for anyone with a scratch to stay home. Only those who are ready to play the first game will board the plane to Qatar."
