Ezequiel LAVEZZI arrives to AFA facilities ahead of World Cup Qualifiers!

Hey everyone,

Ezequiel LAVEZZI has already arrived in Argentina and is already practicing at AFA’s training facility in Ezeiza.

“El Pocho’s” inclusion for “la seleccion” is not seen as important as it once was. His inclusion is now challenged and discussed greatly both by the fans and the media. He has not played regularly for his club. As he does not have any matches coming up with his club team, he decided to practice at Ezeiza eight day before the Chile match.

What do you guys think of LAVEZZI on here? Does he still deserve another chance? Or is he done? Should we move on? Or can he still provide something?

As always, VAMOS ARGENTINA!!
