The coach of the Argentine national team, Lionel Scalonidecided this Friday that the midfielder will train separately Alexis MacAllister and the forward Nicolas Gonzalez because they ended up with discomfort in the victory against Chile.
Mac Allister, who scored the first goal against the Chileans in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in a 3-0 win, finished with a discomfort in the adductor when it was replaced in the complement.
The Liverpool midfielder will work separately this weekend to be in the best possible shape for the match against Colombia on Tuesday at 17:30, but his participation is in doubt and Leandro Paredes could come in his place in the middle of the field.
On the side of the now Juventus player, he felt a prick in the heel during a violation committed against him In the first half, and despite continuing to play, he was unable to continue for the second half and was replaced for the rest of the match.
Gonzalez underwent medical tests on Friday and they did not show that he had an injury to worry about.since he only showed pain from the blow in the area, but he will be protected with regenerative work to try to be a starter against Colombia.
A few days ago, Mac Allister was not on the pitch for training at the Ezeiza Stadium and stayed in the gym, as he is suffering from muscle overload after the start of the season in the Premier League with Liverpool, although he was later included by Scaloni in the starting eleven against Chile.
