The Argentina national team will train in Spain and not in England, prior to their Finalissima match against Italy.
Lionel Scaloni’s team were originally set to train at Watford’s training center and remain in England in May. However, according to TyC Sports, they will now remain in Bilbao, Spain.
The reason for the change of venue is because Argentina national team players will begin to join the training camp on Monday, May 23 and the hotel would only be able to welcome them on Friday, May 27.

Is it confirmed Paredes will be unavailable, the two months seemed to line up proper considering he got injured in April. Guess it depends on how he develops?
Since Copa win the following players really upped their game: Lautaro, Juan Foyth, Giovani Lo Celso, Christian Romero. Messi has lost his golden touch and running out of luck for sure. But above all he looked uninspired. Di Maria’s game time has lessened significantly. Hope he gets enough pitch time with Juventus before the WC. Leandro Paredes was doing good before he went out because of the injury. De Paul struggled in Spain. So Scaloni’s task has become tougher going into the Italy match, where Italy would put their best effort to show the world that though it is 8 years since their last appearance in WC and 16 years since their last WC title, they are nowhere closer to not being called a footballing superpower. Scaloni’s first task would be ignite back the spark in Messi and De Paul. The battle in that match would be fought in the mid-field.
Lisandro was the player of the season for ajax. Italy will not be full strength. Chiesa will surely miss it
