​Man Utd ace Martinez, Tottenham's Romero stranded for Argentina duty over visa issues

Premier League stars Lisandro Martinez and Cristian Romero are among those who are stranded from the Argentina squad due to visa issues.

The mourning of Queen Elizabeth II has meant that the duo, who were meant to join up with their international teammates to take on Honduras and Jamaica in friendlies, have been in limbo.

According to TyC Sports, the US Embassy in England has been closed, which meant they could not get their visas in time to travel for the game.

Their clubs Manchester United and Tottenham may be pleased to know the players will miss at least one international match during this break.

Martinez has made an impressive start to life at Manchester United, earning a regular starting spot, while Romero is a key defender for Antonio Conte at Spurs.
