The Argentine National Team He did the last training session before the trip to Barranquilla to face Colombia in a meeting for the eighth date of the South American Qualifiers heading to World Cup 2026which will take place next Tuesday.
The coach of the Albiceleste team, Lionel Scaloniyou will have to decide whether to give rest to Nicolás González (hit on the heel) and Alexis Mac Allister (adductor overload) or if, finally, he decides to give them minutes.
“The team is doing well, regaining strength from the previous match. Nico González trained differently and we’ll see how it evolves. Alexis MacAllister He trained alongside us. In general terms, we are doing well,” said the coach in a press conference.
“Let’s hope that Messi start playing. When we have to give the next list, we will contact him. Then we will see if he is fit.”
Regarding the team that will play against the Colombian National Team, the coach pointed out: “There may be changes before Colombia”
He also understood that “it is difficult for a team not to depend on football in terms of Messi “Because he is a unique footballer. But this team has a game plan beyond who plays. Everyone plays the same game. That helps. When Leo is not there we do the same thing without that final touch that he has.”
“The schedule is equal for both. I’m not saying that one has an advantage over the other, but it’s true that it doesn’t help the show. I’m not going to decide the team based on the heat,” he concluded.
The Argentine National Team can break another Colombian record
In the Copa America, Argentina broke Colombia’s 28-match unbeaten streak by beating them in the final 1-0. Now, both teams meet again after that final.
