Argentina defender Walter KANNEMANN scored in Gremio’s 5-4 loss to Fluminense.
In a match which saw nine goals scored, Gremio were up 3-2 at half time. Fluminense took the lead 4-3 and a towering header by KANNEMANN drew Gremio level. However, Yony GONZALEZ gave Fluminense the win at the death.
KANNEMANN has been a constant in Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI’s team since he took over last year and will very likely be included in the Copa America squad.
Mateo KLIMOWICZ is reportedly close to joining German club Stuttgart.
According to reports, Stuttgart are about to close the deal for the attacking midfielder for a fee of €1.5 million. KLIMOWICZ’s father, Diego, also played in Germany for Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund.
Germán PEZZELLA suffered an injury during Fiorentina’s 1-0 loss against Empoli.
The Fiorentina man fractured his jaw in the match and will be operated on Monday. This could come as a concern for Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI with the Copa America starting next month and PEZZELLA potentially being one of the two starting center backs in the team.
PEZZELLA is not expected to miss out as there are reports that he would be back in training in a week.
