Pablo ZABALETA is injured and expected to miss Argentina’s upcoming matches.
As per every World Cup Qualifying round for Argentina, the injuries always hit. Manchester City’s Pablo ZABALETA has a muscular injury and is expected to miss Argentina’s World Cup Qualifying matches this week, this according to journalist Martin AREVALO.
First Paulo DYBALA out injured and now Pablo ZABALETA.
Paulo DYBALA was substituted off injured for Juventus.
The shinning jewel of Juventus appears to have suffered a thigh injury and was taken off for Juventus in their match against Sampdoria. Concern has to be the feeling for the Argentina National Team as they have World Cup Qualifiers coming up this week.
Everyone has been looking forward to seeing how both Lionel MESSI and Paulo DYBALA would link up together with the National Team as the only time they have done that, DYBALA was sent off. DYBALA has only played 5 matches for the Argentina National Team. A 0-0 draw against Paraguay (no Lionel MESSI), a 1-1 draw against Brazil (no Lionel MESSI), a 1-0 win against Colombia (no Lionel MESSI), a 1-0 win against Uruguay (with Lionel MESSI but DYBALA was sent off in the first half) and a 2-2 draw against Peru (no Lionel MESSI).
Per early reports, DYBALA was substituted off as a precaution. According to Sky Italia, DYBALA assured the bench that his injury is not a serious one.

The dates have been changed for the next Copa’s America.
The next Copa America will now be held in 2019 with Brazil as the host nation. There will be another one held the next year in 2020 with Ecuador being the host for that edition.
The 2015 Copa America was supposed to be held in Brazil with the one after that in Chile. The reason why it was changed was because Brazil were hosting the 2013 Confederations Cup, 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic games.
This would mean that Argentina have another chance to win 3 tournaments in 3 years (after making finals in 2014, 2015 and 2016) with the 2018 World Cup and the two Copa’s America which would follow. A win in either of those three tournaments would mean that they would qualify for the 2021 Confederations Cup prior to the 2022 World Cup.
It could be a massive few years for Argentina.
Edgardo BAUZA has taken to the radio to discuss Mauro ICARDI, the match against Bolivia and more.
The Argentina National Team coach has stated that he is thinking of playing a 5-4-1 against Bolivia. Here’s what he had to say:
“Regarding Icardi, I’ve made it clear that no one in the National Team has a problem with him.”
“I see a 5-4-1, very tight to get the ball, we have to cut their play. Something to get to 0-0 for the last 20 minutes.”
“I will call Dybala for the World Cup. But I see that he doesn’t feel important.”
