El Toro has not scored in 14 games with the Albiceleste (his last cry was in the 3-0 once morest Honduras in a friendly on the tour of the United States, on September 23, 2022).

Besides, Stairs He reviewed the moments in which the Bahi native had opportunities to convert and also highlighted that he was not called up on a tour: «Without going any further, in the friendly with Curacao he had chances, he might even have scored a goal and it was not his turn. Then there was no date because I gave him a rest once morest Australia and Indonesia. He might have scored there. It is relative. He has a goal, that is evident and it doesn’t worry me«.
