Eduardo SALVIO has been pulled from the Argentina team.

The Benfica man who recently underwent knee surgery has been dropped from the Argentina squad on Monday as he has yet to fully recover. This explains the call-up of Angel CORREA late last week.

Argentina National Team coach Jorge SAMPAOLI reportedly held chats in the past with Angel CORREA about the possibility of the Atletico Madrid man playing as a right wing back.

With the team already in Manchester, England training, it’ll be interesting to see what SAMPAOLI tries out in training.

Angel CORREA makes Argentina squad

Angel CORREA has been called-up to the Argentina National Team.

Atletico Madrid’s Angel CORREA deservedly makes the Argentina squad, a week after the initial list came out. The former San Lorenzo man’s last match with Argentina came March 2017 in a 2-0 defeat against Bolivia.

This is the first time that he makes the team under coach Jorge SAMPAOLI. He has impressed this season being a star man for Diego SIMEONE’s Atletico Madrid team and even recently scoring in the Europa League.

Lionel Messi 100 goal milestone, BATTAGLIA, more

Lionel MESSI reaches 100 goals in the Champions League, Rodrigo BATTAGLIA proves to be a hero while Angel CORREA, Lucas OCAMPOS and Sebastian DRIUSSI all scored in the Europa League.

It was another Lionel MESSI masterclass at the Camp Nou as he scored twice and had an assist in Barcelona’s 3-0 win against Chelsea. The first goal was the quickest in MESSI’s career coming in the second minute which set the tone for the Argentinian’s performance for the night.

As someone who was there in the stands for that match, watching MESSI in the flesh once more left me in awe. If you’ve never seen him play in person before, go out of your way in trying to do so because there are some things which cannot be seen or fully appreciated on television and Lionel MESSI is one of those things.

From the Champions League to the Europa League, Rodrigo BATTAGLIA scored the match winner for Sporting CP in extra time in their 3-2 aggregate win against Viktoria Plzen.

From Portugal to France (technically Spain as the match was held in Spain) River Plate alumni Lucas OCAMPOS scored against Athletic Bilbao in Bilbao to give Marseille a 2-1 win and a ticket to the next round of the Europa League.

Still in Spain, Diego SIMEONE’s men made light work of Lokomotiv Moscow as Angel CORREA scored in their 5-1 demolition.

Going more north in Europe, another former River Plate man, Sebastian DRIUSSI, found the back of the net, this time for Zenit St. Petersburg in their 1-1 draw (and elimination) against RB Leipzig. Along with DRIUSSI, Emiliano RIGONI, Matias KRANEVITTER and Leandro PAREDES all started for the Russian club.

The local list of players has been announced for the Argentina squad.

It’s been rumored for the past few weeks and now it has happened. The Racing Club wonderkid Lautaro MARTIEZ has made the Argentina list. Along with MARTINEZ, Cristian PAVON, Fabricio BUSTOS, Pablo PEREZ and Maxi MEZA are all included. No real surprises from the list coming out of South America.

Here’s the full Argentina team:

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, this week will be slow as I am currently in Spain until Monday. I will try to update as much as possible until then!

Gonzalo HIGUAIN commented on his Argentina return and the World Cup.

Hot off the heels of a big 2-1 win in the Champions League with Juventus against Tottenham, HIGUAIN commented on his return to the Argentina National Team. Having only been included in Jorge SAMPAOLI’s initial Argentina squad against Brazil and Singapore, Gonzalo was later left out of the remaining World Cup Qualifying and friendly matches.

Back in the team for the matches against Spain and Italy, HIGUAIN spoke with Marca about his return and the World Cup. Here’s what he said:

Gonzalo HIGUAIN on his Argentina return

“Happy about it. Two important matches, one of them against Spain, which will be a good opportunity to show the potential of Argentina facing the World Cup. I enjoy the national team and there are still important challenges.

How far can Argentina go in the World Cup?

“With humility, but we aspire to win everything, but first the two friendlies of this month and then to think about the World Cup. It’s time to be Calm.
