The National Team, today: relief for Di María, but doubts about Dybala increase

One month and 10 days after the debut in the Qatar World Cup 2022 against Saudi Arabia, the coaching staff of Lionel Scalloni He is going through complicated hours due to the injuries that have occurred in recent days.

The latest to join the top list Leo Messi with the discomfort in the right calf were Di María and Dybala.

Rosario, scorer of the goal in the final against Brazil at the Maracana, set off the alarm for the discomfort he felt in the back of his right thigh in the match that Juventus lost in Israel against Maccabi Haifa for the Champions League.

In principle, “Fideo” has a slight muscle injury that would require three weeks of recovery, according to the first diagnosis made by the Italian team’s doctors.

The medical studies were postponed for Thursday since the “Bianconeri” squad arrived in Turin from Israel in the afternoon when it was scheduled to arrive first thing in the morning.

Also from Italy but from the capital came the news of Dybala, who after three days was able to perform an MRI on the rectus femoris of his left leg.

The “Jewel” was upset after kicking the penalty that he converted for Roma’s victory over Lecce and was immediately replaced.

Although there was no official part of the Roman club, The Italian press reported that Dybala’s injury is a tear that will keep him inactive for at least four weeks.

If he recovers within this period, the Cordovan could reappear in Rome on the date of the capital’s classic scheduled for November 6 at the Olympic stadium.

However, a few days before, on October 21, Scaloni must deliver to FIFA the preliminary list of 35 players chosen for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

The French press revealed that the 10 is “getting better” but only on Saturday will it be decided whether he will play Sunday’s classic against Olympique de Marseille in the Parc des Princes.

Those three are the most resonant cases but Scaloni and company are also attentive to the recovery of other footballers who were part of the successful cycle that has gone 35 games undefeated.

At the end of August, defender Juan Foyth, one of the versatile players fighting for a place on the payroll, injured his knee and was still unable to play for Villarreal again.

In September, the injuries of Exequiel Palacios, absent since the 10th due to a muscular problem, and goalkeeper Juan Musso were added.

On the 20th of this month, the former Racing Club underwent surgery for a fracture in the right maxilla and is still in the recovery process without field work.

Already in October, striker Joaquín “Tucu” Correa suffered a sore tendon in his left knee during an Inter match that still has him sidelined but he could play again next weekend.

Outside of the physical issues, Scaloni also analyzes the football situations of some of his coaches, such as that of Rodrigo de Paul.

The midfielder is a key piece of the team and will not miss the World Cup in any way, but it is worrying to see him sitting for the third consecutive game on the bench of Atlético de Madrid.

Nicolás González is also not in his physical and footballing prime at Fiorentina where he barely started a single game of the season and missed six games due to injury.

For the same reason, the former Argentinos Juniors traveled to the tour of the Argentine National Team in the United States but was left without adding minutes in the friendlies with Honduras and Jamaica.

On the other hand, the coaching staff is optimistic about the presence of Alexis Mac Allister, at Brighton, and Enzo Fernández, at Benfica, and the great adaptation of Julián Álvarez at Manchester City.

Less than 40 days before the start of the World Cup in Qatar, the fear of injuries will continue to increase since the European season will only be cut in mid-November despite the fact that in the last hours a request from Conmebol to FIFA emerged so that footballers are released a week earlier.
