This season's Premier League competition is in full swing, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, the three powerhouses only one point difference in the fierce competition, the last two months of the league's key sprint can not afford to lose. In order to prepare for the final battle, the three powers have applied for exemption from the obligation to participate in this year's international matches. Arsenal's Gabriel Martinez and Liverpool's Davin Kurucs both announced their withdrawal on Tuesday (19th), with nearly half of the "Arsenal" players taking a break, which more or less gives the team a moment's respite.
March's international fixtures featured mostly warm-up matches between European and South American teams. National teams are generally reluctant to compromise. Uruguay announced on Tuesday that Davin Cruz had withdrawn due to a "thigh complaint", but doctors later confirmed that the Liverpool striker was only taking "precautionary measures" and would be back for the league match against White Harton at the end of the month. Another striker, Mohamed Shahra, applied to Egypt last week to be excused from playing, and the new coach, Hassin, also agreed to the request, so the second most important striker of the "Reds" will stay in England to prepare for the game.
"Top of the table" Arsenal is also progressing well. After Gabriel Martinez withdrew from the team due to injury, center back Gabriel Martinez was also "released" from the Brazilian Champions League and is currently at the Arsenal training base to prepare for the England team. Coach Dulivar Zulia said that Martinez's foot injury is not serious, but he will consider more players and chose Keir Bierma to replace them.
Consecutively rejected for selection by England, Binwet, the injured Brazilian trio of Martinez, Martinez and Gabriel Jetsis, along with Kenyo Tomoyasu (Japan), Thomas Birdie (Ghana), and Zulian Timba (Holland), all recovering from serious injuries, have not fully regained their form and failed to make their respective national squads, which has allowed nearly half of Arsenal's mainstays to recuperate in London.
As for star-studded Manchester City, they have been the busiest. After the successful withdrawal of Keane Dibny and the return of Keane Kilish has not been called up by England, but there are still 15 key players who need to play for the national team, including Norwegian striker Isaac Haaland. Coach Pep Guardiola has urged his players to be "smart" and not to let friendlies affect their title campaign.
