REUTERS: Brazilian officials filed a complaint against all 36 members of the Independiente squad on Wednesday after the Argentines left hotel isolation to play a Copa Sudamericana match against Bahia, the Brazilian health regulator Anvisa said.
Independiente flew into Salvador early on Tuesday but 11 members of the squad tested positive for COVID-19.

The 11 flew home and the other members of the delegation were told to remain in isolation and leave the country within three days.
However, Anvisa said the Argentine team ignored the order and went to the Pituacu stadium in Salvador to play Tuesday’s match in the group stages of the Copa Sudamericana, South America’s equivalent of the Europa League. The match ended 2-2.
If he does, he could find himself lining up alongside a new Independiente youngster who some believe could usurp Aguero as being the club s most expensive sale of all time.
That player is Alan Velasco, who - like Aguero - is short in stature and wears the club s famed No.10 jersey after enjoying a breakout campaign following football s return from lockdown in late 2020.
By the time the delayed 2019-20 season ended in early January 2021, he had scored six goals and provided three assists, all of which came within a nine-week spell as Velasco quickly became the golden boy of Argentine football.

Argentine football begins its program for 2021 with the playing of the Copa Liga Profesional.
Boca was crowned 2019-20 league champions in March after coming out on top during the 23-game season, and also triumphed in the following Copa Diego Armando Maradona, which ended in January.
In lieu of beginning a new league season, the Argentine footballing authorities have instead sanctioned another cup competition, which will run from February to May.
