Nahuel Molina is out with a tear and is set to miss three weeks.
Molina will be out for three weeks with Atletico Mdarid. Molina was substituted into the match for Atletico Madrid in their 1-0 loss against Celta Vigo but after the match, it was revealed that he suffered a tear.
The 28 year old is expected to miss three weeks and while the Argentina national team will play their first match at the World Cup in June 16, it would mean that Molina would be arriving to the World Cup without much form.
Come August, I wonder what we will read here. “All the signs were there” is a line that stands a good chance of being in various posts. In the months and weeks leading up to the World Cup there were clear signals.
“Romero injured and misses end of season. Could be fit for WC, but without rhythm”
“Molina suffers a tear and misses end of season. Could make it to the WC, but without rhythm”
“Licha played for ManU, but his recklessness resulted in a long suspension. Will make it to the WC squad and could be quite fit after missing months of play”
“Liverpool looking for a new nr 6 as Mac Allister is not a shadow of the player he was last season”
“Nico Gonzalez injury ends season and complicates transfer plans”
“Panichelli out for 6 months”
“Foyth out for 2026”
“5 weeks before WC, Messi still has decided whether he will play in the WC”
The run-up is a string of worrying messages. The recent friendlies were useless. And players like DePaul, Paredes and Montiel moving to less competitive leagues haven’t helped either. Am I bit to negative? Possibly.
Of course, I still hope Argentina will win the WC, but I do not fancy our chances. Real Madrid suffered against Bayern because Mbappe and Vinicius hardly defend. You can’t have 2 players upfront that do not fulfil their defensive duties. If we would play Messi and Lautaro together against teams like France, Spain or Germany, we would be very vulnerable too. After watching the wonderful matches between Bayern Munich and PSG, I really wonder if Argentina can play at that level, with that intensity and attitude. Only Dibu, Paz and maybe Enzo are playing at the level we need. Fingers crossed.
Hopefully we will be at that level
Huff 3 weeks thankfully..
