A day in peace: the National Team trained thoroughly and there will be no casualties

After the first -and traumatic- practice of the national team on Qatari soil due to the dismissal of Nicolás González and Joaquín “Tucu” Correa due to injuries, all eyes turned to “Huevo” Acuña and “Papu” Gómez, who had physical ailments .

The left back, who plays for Sevilla in Spain, suffers groin pain that prevents him from training continuously, while the midfielder, also part of the ranks of the Spanish team, has suffered a blow to the knee since the last few games he played for your club.

But this Friday, all these doubts were cleared up, since both met the physical requirements with total normality and will stay with the delegation in Qatar.

This means that Scaloni’s coaching staff would not disaffect other players or make any further changes to the final list of 26 ahead of the debut on November 22 against Saudi Arabia, starting at 7:00 p.m.

Acuña who played as a starter in the 5-0 against the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi, and played only the first half, became one of the figures of the Argentine National Team, while “Papu” Gómez was one of the four options that they were left out of the substitute bench, but he is one of the candidates to occupy a place in the starting eleven given the loss of Giovani Lo Celso.

For their part, Lionel Messi, Ángel Di María, Nicolás Otamendi, Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Juan Foyth and Lisandro Martínez did a separate activation in the gym and then went onto the pitch with the rest of the squad.

Scaloni began to diagram a possible team for the debut in the World Cup, which could be the following: Emiliano Martínez; Nahuel Molina or Gonzalo Montiel, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi, Marcos Acuña or Nicolás Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Alexis Mac Allister or Alejandro Gómez; Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martinez and Angel Di Maria.
