SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian health officials will visit the Argentina soccer team on Saturday to investigate whether their English Premier League players broke COVID-19 quarantine regulations ahead of Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Brazil.

The Argentina squad flew into Brazil on Friday, the day after beating Venezuela 3-1 in a World Cup qualifier in Caracas.

“We were notified by Anvisa and officials are going to the hotel where the players are staying to verify the correct procedure was followed,” an official with the Sao Paulo Health Secretary told Reuters. Brazil lead the South American qualifying group for Qatar 2022, six points ahead of second-placed Argentina. The top four qualify automatically for the World Cup.
