Nicolás Capaldo is set to start for Argentina against Honduras.
Capaldo will be in the starting eleven in Saturday’s friendly matches. According to Gastón Edul, the 27 year old will start for Lionel Scaloni’s team.
The defender was part of the starting eleven that Lionel Scaloni tried in training. He is with the Argentina national team but is not part of the team that will go to the World Cup.
Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni held a training session on Tuesday with several players not part of the starting eleven.
The Argentina national team are in Kansas City for their World Cup training camp and some players have fitness issues. According to Diego Monroig, here is the team that was used by Scaloni in training:
Rulli; Tagliafico, Lisandro Martínez, Otamendi, Capaldo; Enzo, Mac Allister, De Paul; Almada, Lautaro and Simeone
Lionel Scaloni’s team will play Honduras on Saturday.
“He was at nothing to having won two more Copa America titles and a World Cup. He continues to be the same, he is competitive.
“He will play in his sixth World Cup and he still has the same desire. He wants to play with the ball, he wants to keep playing.
“Messi will play until he decides. I’m not surprised that he’s playing in his sixth World Cup. What surprises me is that he has only won four trophies with the national team.”
Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke about the obstacles when Argentina won the 2022 World Cup.
Lionel Scaloni commented in an interview with Diario Olé about the Argentina national team and the World Cup. In the same interview, Scaloni spoke about the last World Cup and the obstacles. Here is what he had to say:
“We lost the first match, they equalized against us in the last minute against the Netherlands and we won on penalty kicks. Against France, we were winning 2-0, playing well and they drew level.
“In the end, at the World Cup, it’s not enough to just play well and be the protagonists. Several factors have to come together for the path to clear up.
“I think that we, out of the most recent national teams that have won the World Cup, we were the one’s that had the moat obstacles in our way.”
Cristian Romero and Julián Álvarez are both fit and trained with the Argentina national team.
Romero and Álvarez both trained with the Argentina national team on Monday. The two players trained normally with the rest of the team and are available for the Argentima national team coaching staff.
