Aston Villa receive huge Emi Martinez boost amid Government statement

Aston Villa have been handed a massive boost after the Government confirmed double-jabbed players can fulfil international fixtures in red zone countries. It means that Emi Martinez, Marvelous Nakamba and Bertrand Traore can all return to face Wolves on October 16. Above stated was confirmed by manager Dean Smith to Sky Sports. Last month Martinez skipped Villa's match against Chelsea due to isolation rule. The Argentine goalkeeper is now facing another race as Argentina's final match against Peru kicks-off at 12.30am UK time on Friday, October 15. Meanwhile, Martinez is expected to fly back to the UK afterwards via a private jet to start against Wolves at 3pm on Saturday, October 16. That means he will have to go through a 36-hour turnaround from the final whistle in Argentina to kick-off at Villa Park.   Source - birminghammail Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
