Gio Lo Celso of Villarreal is flying to Argentina for the World Cup qualifiers despite being suspended.
Lo Celso is on the plane with the Argentina national team. While he is suspended for two matches, like Cristian Romero, the AFA are hoping to have the ban reduced down to one match. If the ban is reduced, Lo Celso would be available for the second match against Ecuador but would miss the first match against Venezuela.
Nicolas Otamendi uploaded a picture on his Instagram of himself with Lo Celso, Angel Correa, Rodrigo De Paul and Lucas Ocampos on a flight to Argentina.

Lautaro ruled out because of covid, yet another key member out of the squad
Happy for all these guys. All these guys really love their national team. They don’t wanna miss it. Hope Emi Martinez joins us too.
