However, the midfielder is not in any danger of being in the match against the Chileans, even though there are still two days left until the match.
In the face of this loss, Scaloni has lined up a midfield consisting of Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes and Enzo Fernández, so the former Argentinos Juniors player, if he is 100 percent fit, would come in for one of these three.
If he does not fully recover, he will join the bench alongside Guido Rodríguez, Paulo Dybala and Giovani Lo Celso.
The midfielder has just played in all three Premier League matches of the current season, where he played the full 90 minutes in all of the games that ended in victories for Liverpool against Ipswich Town, Brentford and Manchester United.
At the moment, the Argentine national team is missing a player in defense, due to the absence of Nicolás Tagliafico, who was initially included in the list but was later removed due to injury.
In this situation, the Argentine coach called up Marcos Acuña, currently a River player, as a substitute.
