The young winger has a problem in his knee and Manchester United’s medical team recommended that he not take any risks in this double qualifying round.
Alejandro Garnacho was disaffected from the Argentine National Team due to physical problems
One more and they go. The Argentine National Team continues to accumulate significant casualties a few days before the new double date of the South American Qualifiers against Venezuela and Bolivia. In addition to Paulo Dybala, Nicolás González and Marcos Acuña, all due to physical problems, the absence of Alejandro Garnacho has now been confirmed.
The young winger, with a great presence in England, was withdrawn from the squad by Lionel Scaloni and will not travel to Miami, where the albiceleste bunker is located. As he has been experiencing discomfort in his left knee for a few days, Manchester United’s medical team recommended that he not take risks with the Major and take advantage of this break in the season to recover and rest.
In Scaloneta, for their part, they understood that not having Garnacho at 100% physically represented more of a problem than a solution on the attacking front. That is why they decided to cut him from the list and possibly call another player urgently, as happened with Facundo Buonanotte and Julio Soler.
Little by little, Garnacho seemed to be gaining a place in Argentina. In fact, in the last double day of the Qualifiers he added a handful of minutes in the beating of Chile at the Monumental and teamed up in a great way with Paulo Dybala, whom he enabled for the final 3-0.
This absence, however, will not make him lose ground, since it is a physical and not a football issue. If he leaves the pain in the joint behind and maintains this superlative level in the Red Devils, the Bug will reappear in the November window to visit Paraguay (11/14, at 8:30 p.m.) and host Peru (11/19, at define).
Garnacho’s lament and the explanation for its absence in Argentina
Through his Instagram stories, the young Spanish attacker naturalized Argentine told about his physical discomfort that will prevent him from playing against Venezuela (10/10, at 6 p.m.) and Bolivia (10/15, at 9 p.m.): “I had problems in the knee in the last two games and I will not be able to be in the National Team, but I hope to be able to recover to be able to be on the next date.
The infirmary of the Argentine National Team and the sensitive losses for the Qualifiers
- Nicolás González: low-grade injury to the rectus femoris of the right leg
- Paulo Dybala: muscular inconvenience.
- Marcos Acuña: discomfort in left hamstring.
- Emiliano Martínez: Suspended for two games for “offensive behavior” and “violation of fair play principles.”
In doubt:
- Germán Pezzella: pain in the eardrum due to an elbow
- Alexis Mac Allister: he joined the delegation but will be evaluated for discomfort in one of his adductors
