Argentina against Puerto Rico is set to take place on Tuesday and at Inter Miami’s Chase stadium.
The Argentina national team was initially set to play Puerto Rico on Monday, October 13 in Chicago but that match was moved to take place in Miami. According to Gastón Edul, the match will now take place on Tuesday, October 14 at Chase stadium in Florida.
Lisandro Martínez could return on for the Argentina national team and Manchester United by the end of October.
Martínez has been out with a knee injury since February and he could be returning onto the pitch soon. According to TyC Sports, the 27 year old is back on the pitch training with a ball but not doing full football work.
He underwent an MRI last week with the results coming out no problems.
Matías Soulé’s agent has stated that he would have the possibility of being called up by the Italian national team.
Soulé has been in great form for AS Roma. He has scored three goals and has two assists in six league matches but has not played yet with the Argentina national team. He is not with the Argentina national team in Miami for their two friendly matches against Venezuela and Puerto Rico. Speaking with Corriere dello Sport, here is what his agent Martín Guastadisegno had to say:
“He’s been working really hard for the national team. He’s the only one among the young Argentine players who hasn’t played a single minute yet.
“He’s becoming a leader in an important team like Roma and deserves an opportunity.
“He’s Italian-Argentine and I don’t know what could happen if the situation with Argentina doesn’t change. As of today, everything is open, legally, he would have the possibility of being called up by the Italian national team.”
Per reports by journalist Gaston Edul, the friendly match between Argentina and Puerto Rico, scheduled for Monday, has undergone a change of venue.
Originally planned to be played in Chicago, the match has been moved to Miami due to ongoing protests in the city that made hosting the event there unfeasible. Inter Miami’s Chase Stadium, home of Lionel Messi, has emerged as a possible new venue for the fixture.
Further details, including official confirmation and ticket information, are expected to be announced soon.
This will be Argentina’s second friendly match in the United States, following their upcoming game on Friday against Venezuela at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Mundo Albiceleste will be on-site as accredited media to cover Argentina vs. Venezuela, bringing exclusive coverage, photos, and pre-match analysis directly from Miami.
