Tottenham Hotspur have sent a fitness coach to work with their quarantining trio in Croatia.
Cristian Romero and Giovanni Lo Celso are in the country for a 10-day training camp to avoid returning directly to the UK from a red-list country and facing the same period in a quarantine hotel.
Officials stormed the pitch during Brazil and Argentina's World Cup qualifier on Sunday to arrest Romero, Lo Celso, Emiliano Martinez and Emiliano Buendia.
The Argentine quartet were accused of having provided "false information" on their pre-flight health declarations.
Argentina agreed to let Romero and Lo Celso leave ahead of Friday's qualifier at home to Bolivia following discussions with Spurs.
The London Evening Standard reports both players are now training in Croatia, along with Colombian teammate Davinson Sanchez.
Croatia is considered a 'green list' country by the UK government, meaning all three players will not have to quarantine when they return to the country.
Spurs are expected to fine Lo Celso and Romero after they went against the club's wishes by travelling to a red-listed country.
