Emiliano Martínez broke a finger during Aston Villa’s warmup for the Europa League final.
Martínez has stated that he broke a finger warming up before their match against Freiburg. The 33 year old spoke to ESPN Argentina after the match, here is what he had to say:
“I broke a finger in the warmup. Every time I grabbed the ball, it went the other way.”
The Argentine started the match for Aston Villa, winning 3-0 against Freiburg.
🚨 JUST IN: Argentina’s final 26-man squad for the World Cup is expected to be officially announced between May 28 and May 29. Lionel Scaloni will wait until the very last moment before confirming the list.

where is kidilhood,mamun pipita and many
Argentine great supporter..we miss you guys
Very sad for emi Martínez..
No need to add many old players..
Like taflafico and acuna..we need young players who can run 90 minite non stop ..
Why he always choose taglafico..he is 34 years old and he is small player..not quick and never cross a good ball..
Last two mounts he only played 13 minites for his club..now he is brench wormer.. nico GONZALEZ is way better then shitty faglafico..
Honestly scaloni can’t afford to make a mistake of picking both Acuna and Tagliafico. Tagliafico I would be okay but not Acuna. Likes of pezella, Martinez Quarta being mentioned as possible inclusion is a complete joke. Fielding old players past 34 who lack pace will bring bad memories of 2018.facundo medina is out there he can also play as Lb.
It would be highly beneficial if Emi Buendia were selected for the World Cup; it would be quite unjust if he were not chosen by Scaloni.
Buendia has basically forced his way into the World Cup squad at this point. The guy can play as an attacking mid, centre mid or out wide, and he’s miles ahead of the overrated Almada when it comes to finishing, chance creation, and overall football Iq. It would honestly be stupid from Scaloni and the staff not to take him now.
One of the biggest mistakes defending champions make is sticking too long with the same core just because they won before. We can’t fall into that trap. Players like Almada and even De Paul shouldn’t be automatic picks anymore, although we all know De Paul probably will go no matter what. Hopefully Palacios stays fit otherwise RDP will start.
I would rather go with 7 forwards instead of 8 if that’s what it takes to fit Buendea in the squad, because right now he offers way more than De Paul, Lo Celso, or Almada. He has 11 goals and 9 assists this season!
Buendia must be in the 26th man squad. He’s currently best inform argentine player in Europe…He deserves to be in the squad…
Don’t be sure about it. Scaloni might surprise everyone by picking manstantuono and Locelso. I hope it doesn’t come to that.
