Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni will be without four players for their World Cup qualifying match against Chile.
Lionel Scaloni will miss four players due to suspension and possibly two due to injuries for Thursday’s game. Leandro Paredes, Enzo Fernández and Nicolás Otamendi will miss Argentina’s match on Thursday due to yellow card suspension.
Nicolás González will receive a two match ban and will miss the match against Chile. Alexis Mac Allister was dropped from the team due to injury and Giovani Lo Celso is a doubt due to injury.
The Argentina national team will play Chile on Thursday, June 5 and on June 10 will play Colombia in Buenos Aires.
Did you know prior to the Nico Gonzalez red card the last time an Argentina player received a red card was Lionel Messi in 2019 Copa vs Chile. This was 7 years ago and shouldn’t have been a red card. Before that was Marcos Rojo 3 years earlier. Besides that, the last Argentina player to receive a red card at the World Cup was Leandro Cufre during the 2006 World Cup which is almost 16 years ago.
As we have already qualified the new pass deserve a chance. It would help Scaloni decide his reserve bench for 2026.
The double touch rule of the PKs is changed. If the second touch is unintentional the penalty will be retaken.
I saw Alvarez’s pk from different angles and the more I looked at it the more I realized there wasn’t a second touch at all. Ref Madrid and daylight robbery is a love story that has no end.
