Santiago Beltrán has chances of going to the World Cup with Argentina.
Beltrán could be joining the Argentina national team at the World Cup. According to Diego Monroig, the goalkeeper could be going as player 27, similar to goalkeeper Federico Gomes Gerth who went as sparring at the 2022 World Cup.
The 21 year old goalkeeper has been the starting goalkeeper for River Plate. Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has until May 30 to announce his team for the World Cup in June and July.
All right, let’s do the math and see what we end up with:
1 – Emiliano Martínez
2 – Juan Musso
3 – Gerónimo Rulli
4 – Nahuel Molina
5 – Gonzalo Montiel
6 – Cristian Romero
7 – Lisandro Martínez
8 – Nicolás Otamendi
9 – Leonardo Balerdi
10 – Nicolás Tagliafico
11 – Marcos Acuña
12 – Rodrigo De Paul
13 – Enzo Fernández
14 – Alexis Mac Allister
15 – Leandro Paredes
16 – Exequiel Palacios
17 – Nico Paz
18 – Lionel Messi
19 – Lautaro Martínez
20 – Julián Álvarez
21 – Nicolás González
22 – Giuliano Simeone
23 – Thiago Almada
24 – José López
I think Acuna and Montiel are very likely going even if I don’t agree necessarily that they should, especially Acuna.
That leaves 2 spots for most likely candidates: Senesi, Barco, Lo Ceslo, Perrone, Buendia, Soule.
My guess and my own pick would be Senesi and Barco. Senesi is a must given that some of our defenders are coming in injured and because he’s had a great season. Barco’s form and versatility is also a huge asset.
Perrone, Lo Celso, Buendia and Soule to miss out.
