Cristian Romero avoids bone injury, could be available for Argentina qualifiers

2

Cristian “Cuti” Romero might still be available for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers despite an injury concern. The 26-year-old center back had to leave the pitch 15 minutes into the second half during Tottenham’s 4-1 victory over Emiliano Martinez’s Aston Villa, raising doubts about his availability for Argentina’s qualifiers against Paraguay and Peru.

Medical examinations have confirmed that Romero did not suffer a bone fracture but rather ligament damage in his right big toe. This type of injury does not completely rule him out of Argentina’s upcoming matches.

Coach Lionel Scaloni has called Romero up for the November 14 away match against Paraguay and the November 19 home match against Peru.

Javier Pastore on his time with Argentina: “It was a very mistreated national team”

0

Javier Pastore spoke about his time with the Argentina national team and how he said it was very mistreated.

Pastore spoke in an interview with Relevo about his retirement and being coached by Diego Maradona at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Speaking in the same interview, the 35 year old commented on his time with the Argentina national team. Here is what he had to say:

“My time in the National Team when I was there were not good years, not so much because of the results, but because I did not have the chance to win the championship. It was a very mistreated national team, I was not so much because I was very young, but I had teammates who were mistreated by the press and the people and I suffered more for them than for me.

“I didn’t read the press either, but you get it because of the environment, what people shout at you when you get on the bus, on the field, they send you articles… But all that goes hand in hand with being an elite footballer.”
