Cristian Pavon could miss Argentina’s World Cup qualifying matches later this month.

Players from the Argentina national team are expected to start landing on Monday for the two World Cup qualifying matches against Ecuador and Bolivia next week. However, Pavon might miss the games.

Several reasons could lead to the Argentine missing the games. Per a report by TyC Sports, Pavon would have to take a flight over to Madrid to take a charter flight where most of the players will be using. Some other players will be using a flight chartered by Lionel Messi.

Should Pabon take part in the matches, upon his arrival back to Los Angeles, he would have to be self isolated for 10 days and would miss matches for his club. It also looks like Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni wants Pavon in the team but would not necessarily be a starter.

Emiliano Martínez of Aston Villa and Juan Musso of Udinese are the other two goalkeepers who have been called with Esteban Andrada of Boca and River Plate goalkeeper Franco Armani expected to complete the goalkeeping spots.
