  1. If Scaloni choice Palacios (random player who fight to be titular with Leverkusen) over Enzo who shine with Benfica and made Juventus Midflied his b*tch… he dont understand nothing about football

  2. Palacios is showing to be very injury prone. When it is not a serious injury, it’s usually a hamstring, a sprain, or “a knock”.

    This is beginning to remind me of Fernando Gago who would have gone to the 2018 world cup, but got injured right before and still tried to play with an ACL injury. He went to 2014 and got injured after 1st match in the group stage.

    For this reason, we must bring Enzo to World Cup. He is 21 and showed great composure in his first-ever Champions League match. That 2nd goal happened because of his confidence on the ball between two Juventus players (one being Paredes).

  3. Thiago almada and enzo Fernandez both made the final list both are in midfielder section, Palacios and nico gonzalez both missed out due injury, lmq and juan musso has dropped

  4. So what can we conclude from this? I suppose that Scaloni still has Palacios in his plans, he wants him to still be part of the group, feel that he still has a chance and motivate him to recover ASAP and perform well when he is back.
