There’s already some rumors as to who Edgardo BAUZA will call-up as replacements to the two injured players.
With Lucas BIGLIA and Augusto FERNANDEZ both picking up injuries on Sunday, there are rumors that two players from the Argentine Primera will be called-up as replacements. Santiago ASCACIBAR and Ivan MARCONE are the two names being rumored to be called-up as replacements.
Sergio AGUERO, Sergio ARAUJO, Gio SIMEONE, Renato CIVELLI and Alexander SZYMANOWSKI all scored on the weekend.
It’s been a weekend of Argentine goals in Europe but of the lesser known names. Beginning in England with the “top star”, Sergio AGUERO scored goals number 10 and 11 of the season in Manchester City’s 3-1 win against Swansea on Saturday. His first goal was a sharp turn with an excellent first touch to score through the goalkeeper’s legs with the second being a chipped penalty kick.
Moving to Spain, Sergio ARAUJO scored a massive goal for Las Palmas in their come from behind draw 2-2 draw against Real Madrid.
Alexander SZYMANOWSKI has scored for Leganes in their 2-1 loss to Valencia. SZYMANOWSKI also had a penalty saved in the match.
In Italy, Diego SIMEONE’s son, Gio SIMEONE has scored his first goal in Italy for Genoa as they drew 1-1 against Pescara.
This time in France, Renato CIVELLI scored Lille’s only goal of the match in a 3-1 loss against Sainte-Etienne.

It’s apparently injury Sunday for Argentine players as a second casualty has fallen.
Augusto FERNANDEZ’s injury problems persist as he was substituted off on a stetcher for Atletico Madrid. The injury for Augusto appears to be in his right knee. It did not look good for FERNANDEZ.
FERNANDEZ, along with Lucas BIGLIA, is the second Argentine player to be substituted off due to an injury on Sunday.
The first injury for Argentina has already hit with the first victim being Lucas BIGLIA.
Lucas BIGLIA had to be substituted off 10 minutes into the first half for Lazio in their match against Empoli. The injury left BIGLIA in tears on the bench. The severity of BIGLIA’s injury is unknown but with World Cup Qualifiers just over a week away, it can’t be good for him.
Edgardo BAUZA loves to talk and it appears as if one of his latest comments has angered FC Barcelona.
Edgardo BAUZA took to the media to talk about Lionel MESSI’s latest injury. The Argentina National Team coach was not happy with Lionel MESSI being rushed back from injury and played by Barcelona. Here’s what he had to say:
“Barcelona sent us messages asking us to take care of MESSI. But it was them who didn’t take much care of him.”
Barcelona coach Luis ENRIQUE replied to BAUZA’s comments saying:
“The truth is that we all look out for MESSI’s well being along with the well being of every player at our club.”
Following those comments, the AFA released a statement apologizing to Barcelona about BAUZA’s comments. Armando PEREZ spoke to BARTOMEU (Barcelona president) stating “We have to have a good relationship with Barcelona”. Barcelona spokesman Josep VIVES came out and stated:
“The AFA has contacted Barça to express its apology for the comments made by the manager in relation to the injury of Leo MESSI. (Barça and the AFA) will work so that Leo MESSI recuperates as quickly as possible because, as Luis ENRIQUE said, ‘MESSI is a global ambassador for football.”
Personally speaking, if there is someone to blame for MESSI’s injury, I think it’s everyone involved. From Argentina to Barcelona to MESSI himself. Of course Barcelona are the one that pay his salary but in my opinion, I don’t think they have ever given him enough time to fully recover from his injuries.
