Lautaro and Lisandro Martínez were disaffected from the call for the last double date but next to the campus they will be Emiliano Martínez, Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso and Emiliano Buendíawho traveled despite the two sanction dates they received from FIFA.
Leo Messicaptain of the team led by Lionel Scalloniwill join this Tuesday along with his teammates at Paris Saint Germain, Leandro Paredes and Angel Di Maria.
The Rosario will travel in the next few hours from Paris aboard his private plane despite the flu condition that marginalized him from the last PSG game.
Messi, Paredes and Di Maria will complete the “albiceleste” squad, which on Monday afternoon completed the first training session at the AFA in Ezeiza.
Of these three, Walls he would be the only one who has his presence guaranteed in the game on Friday at 8:30 pm in La Bombonera against José Néstor Pekerman’s Venezuela.
According to the medical part published on Saturday by the French club, Messi He had been undergoing treatment for 48 hours for a flu syndrome, while “Fideo” Di María drags the injury to the left hamstring that he suffered in the match against Real Madrid in the European Champions League.
The left-handed attacker traveled the same but it is difficult for him to be in Friday’s game since only this Wednesday will be two of the usual three weeks of recovery required by a muscle injury.
The commitment and desire to be with the national team was also reflected in the gesture of the four footballers who were suspended in mid-February, after learning of the decision of the FIFA after the suspended classic against Brazil, in São Paulo, and are awaiting the CAS ruling after the appeal they filed AFA.
Lo Celso and Buendía boarded the charter flight that landed today around 2:00 p.m. and got on the bus that left through the FBO VIP Club sector of the Ministro Pistarini International Airport in Ezeiza, to travel the short distance to the Julio Humberto Grondona property.
The “Dib” Martinez He was one of the first to arrive in the country and this afternoon he was photographed with his eldest son on one of the fields on the property.
Cordovan “Cuti” Romero, meanwhile, also traveled with his family from London and will join the concentration in the next few hours.
Those who will not be in the last two games of the tie will be Lautaro and Lisandro Martinez.
The “Bull”, Argentina’s scorer in the Qatar 2022 qualifying contest and the Scaloni cycle, tested positive for Covid-19 in the test that was carried out in Milan before traveling to Madrid to meet again with the bulk of those summoned.
The Inter striker played from the start in the 15 games he Argentina He played in the qualifiers, whose qualification for Qatar 2022 he secured in November last year when he drew goalless against Brazil in San Juan.
The defender from Entre Ríos, for his part, suffered an injury to the hamstring of his left leg in the last minutes of the Netherlands classic that Ajax won against Feyenoord in Amsterdam.
These two casualties are added to those of Alejandro Gomez and Marcos Acunaboth ruled out due to the injuries they suffered in Seville.
With this scenario, Scaloni He must rebuild the team that, between injuries, doubts and suspensions, has seven players less than the starting point guard.
In replacement of “Dibu” Martinez Franco Armani will surely be there, one of the two mentioned from local football along with the striker Julian Alvarez.
They would be in defense Nahuel Molina, German Pezzella With Nicholas Otamendi -who fulfilled the suspension date against Colombia- in the central defense, and Nicholas Tagliaficothe only left back on the list.
In the midfield the first doubt appears since for the place of Lo Celso beside Rodrigo DePaul and Leandro Paredes there are several candidates.
Exequiel Palacios does not have many minutes at Bayer Leverkusen but he recovered continuity after a series of injuries; Alexis Mac Allister made a good impression in the last doubleheader but was unable to play due to being positive for Covid-19; and Manuel Lanzini, a great presence at West Ham, could fulfill that function as happened with “Papu” Gómez in the matches against Chile and Colombia.
Up front there are also questions about the physical state of Messi and Di Maria and the absence of Lautaro.
Nicolas Gonzalez, Lucas Ocampos and Angel Correa they could play on the outside and the options to occupy in the center of the offense are Joaquin Correa, Julian Alvarez and debutant Lucas Boyé, in that order of priority.
The agenda of the selected -already confirmed by the official site of the AFA- will contemplate closed-door evening training until Friday, except on Wednesday when the venue will be opened so that the media can broadcast the first fifteen minutes of practice.
