Ayrton Costa’s travel plans just got a major boost. The Argentine defender, who’s been dealing with a conditional release issue, has been cleared to join his team in the US. This means Miguel Ángel Russo now has another key player to choose from for the Club World Cup, where they’ll face off against Benfica, Bayern, and Auckland City in the group stage.
The drama began when Costa was initially barred from entering the US due to his conditional release. But after fixing an error on his application, he’s been granted a temporary work visa, valid for 26 days. This is a huge turnaround for the 24-year-old, who’s been linked to a 2018 burglary case in Buenos Aires.
Here’s what’s next for Costa and his team:
- They’ll kick off the Club World Cup against Benfica on Monday at 11 PM
- Then, they’ll face Bayern and Auckland City in the group stage
The Club World Cup is just around the corner, and with Costa back in the mix, the team’s chances just got a lot more interesting. Don’t miss the action – all the games will be live on the DAZN app.
