With the number 1 going to Franco ARMANI, this would likely mean that he would be the starting goalkeeper for Argentina at the Copa America.

 

Erik LAMELA, Manuel LANZINI among names who could make Argentina squad

Erik LAMELA, Manuel LANZINI and Ignacio FERNANDEZ are the three possible replacements for Exequiel PALACIOS in the Argentina team.

The injury bug has started to hit the Argentina national team. Coach Lionel SCALONI has already had to look at potentially using Milton CASCO as a right back as Renzo SARAVIA isn’t fully fit. But now, there’s more concern.

As we reported earlier, Exequiel PALACIOS is battling a hamstring problem and TyC Sports are reporting that three names have emerged as a possible replacement. Two former River Plate players and one present one.

Tottenham are in the Champions League final and Erik LAMELA is one of the names being mentioned to possibly replace PALACIOS. The other is Manuel LANZINI of West Ham United and the third is PALACIO’s team mate with River, Ignacio FERNANDEZ.

 

Exequiel PALACIOS injured, likely to miss Copa America for Argentina

Exequiel PALACIOS is likely to miss the Copa America with Argentina as he suffered an injury during River Plate’s Recopa match.

It’s not the best of news for Argentina as rumors are coming out that there’s a strong chance Exequiel PALACIOS will miss the Copa America. Per a report by TyC Sports, PALACIOS had discomfort in one of his hamstrings. Further tests will be done to determine the severity of his injury.

However, as it stands, the rumors are that PALACIOS will not make the Copa America for Argentina.

Per a report by BBC, the Champions League finalists have submitted a bid of €60 million for the Argentina and Real Betis man. However, per the report, Real Betis have a clause of €100 million for the midfielder and would like to get something more in that region.
