Instead of González, a player from Fiorentina (Italy), he was called up Angel Correastriker for Atlético de Madrid.
For Joaquín Correa, from Inter (also from Italy), the National Team announced that his replacement will be Thiago Almadaplayer who is part of Atlanta United of the MLS.
The first known casualty on the day was that of the Fiorentina striker: “After today’s training session, soccer player Nicolás González suffered a muscle injury and will be released from the World Cup roster. In his replacement, the coaching staff summons Ángel Correa”communicated the official Twitter of the selection.
González, with a past in Argentinos Juniors, had responded positively in recent days after suffering his muscle injury on October 23 with Fiorentina, from Italy, although in practice this Thursday he suffered a relapse and was released.
For his part, Ángel Correa was on vacation with his sisters, as he posted in the last few hours on his Instagram profile, and was one of the four names on the reserve left by Lionel Scaloni along with Facundo Medina, Juan Musso and Almada. .
Late in the afternoon the news of the Inter striker was added. “The player Joaquín Correa will also be released from the World Cup squad due to injury. The replacement will be informed in the next few hours”reported the AFA. Minutes later it was confirmed that Almada, one of the reserves, will join the National Team.
On the first day of work at the facilities of the bunker chosen to stay during the World Cup, Scaloni had already shown his concern for Correa.
“Tucu” was a substitute in the friendly against the United Arab Emirates but came on at halftime and was in charge of sealing the win with the fifth goal. But in the first hours in Doha, the Inter player reported a discomfort in his left knee and, after doing work with the kinesiologists and some exercises in the gym, he did not show a good recovery.
The teams have the power to vary their list of 26 players until at least 24 hours before “in case of injury or serious illness,” explained the FIFA regulations. And further adds: “Substitutes will not necessarily have to be included in the provisional list”.
“Upon receipt and acceptance of a detailed written medical examination in one of the four official FIFA languages, the FIFA Medical Committee, represented by the Head of FIFA Medical Services, will issue a certificate confirming that the injury or illness is serious enough to prevent the player from participating, ”the document states.
The sudden absences of González and Joaquín Correa thus added to the significant drop in the midfield of Giovani Lo Celsowho suffered a detachment of the biceps femoris of his right leg and had to undergo surgery.
