Tottenham defender negotiates to participate in national team’s World Cup Qualifying fixtures

Davinson Sánchez sees a resurgence with new manager Nuno Espírito Santo, and the 25-year-old hopes to relay this form with the Colombian national team. 

Despite the Premier League wanting to withhold players due to South America being on the UK’s red list due to the coronavirus cases, players will be heading to participate in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.

According to journalist Pilar Velásquez, Sánchez has negotiated with Tottenham Hotspur, where the English club will allow him to participate in the fixtures against Bolivia and Paraguay.

However, Sánchez would miss the third match against Chile in Barranquilla, Colombia, as he’ll depart for London to begin his ten-day quarantine upon returning to the country.

AS reports that the idea of ??the Tottenham coaching staff is for Sánchez to return with enough time to be present against Chelsea on September 19, the central defender would miss the game against Crystal Palace on Saturday the 11th.
