A month before the start of the World Cup, the Argentine team is on the planet of injury. Two key members of the team, Paulo Dybala and Angel Di Maria were injured. Although they were not knocked out, there was fear among the supporters. Fortune did not help Giovanni Lo Celso. He’s already knocked out. However, coach Lionel Scaloni announced a 26-member team leaving Dybala with a smile on the faces of Argentine fans.
The Argentine coach announced the 26-member World Cup squad of Argentina through a video on Twitter on Friday.
Argentina may start from the end in Qatar World Cup. Because this is Messi’s last World Cup. Teammates will want Messi’s experience to win this year’s title.
Coach Lionel Scoloni in that dream. “They (the players) are proud to be called up and wear this jersey,” Scaloni said while announcing the squad. Hopefully, you will be the same as a supporter of this team. All united!
Meanwhile, Di Maria came on as a late substitute in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Serie A Inter Milan after being sidelined for almost a month due to injury. Like him, Dibala was also suffering from thigh problems. However, he recently returned to practice with the team in Roma. Roma coach Jose Mourinho also said that he is likely to play next Sunday against Torino in Serie A.
Argentina’s first match in the World Cup in Qatar, which starts on November 20, is on November 22, against Saudi Arabia. Their other two opponents in ‘C’ group are Mexico (November 26) and Poland (November 30).
