Who are the candidates to replace Lo Celso in the starting team?

Lo Celso was ruled out of the official list for the World Cup due to a serious muscle injury and will have to undergo surgery, so Lionel Scaloni, who had already assured that “footballingly, he had no replacement”, will begin to plan a team without him among the headlines.

“Papu” Gómez is of the two the one who has played the most with the National Team, with 15 games and three goals, and has been important for the group during the Copa América Brasil 2021 and in the process that began in 2019.

Mac Allister is having a good season at English Brighton and gained more ground in the consideration of the coach to have his chance, so with only seven games with the national cast he is one of the bets for the future, not only thinking about Qatar but also in what will come later.

Others who could have their chance, with a little more distance, are Enzo Fernández and Exequiel Palacios, although Scaloni would be leaning more towards players who were in the team from the beginning of the process.

This Wednesday, Argentina will arrive in Abu Dhabi to start training for the friendly against the United Arab Emirates on November 13, thinking about the debut in the World Cup against Saudi Arabia, on the 22nd, at the Lusail Stadium.
