Ángel Di María has a knock and could miss Argentina’s match against Venezuela in the World Cup qualifiers.
Di María isn’t fully healthy and might miss Argentina’s first match on Friday. According to Gastón Edul, the 34 year old is expected to be another player missing for Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni.
Argentina play Venezuela on March 25 and on March 29 they play Ecuador.
Emiliano “Dibu” Martinez and Emiliano Buendia are travelling with the Argentina national team for the World Cup qualifiers.
Martinez and Buendia are both suspended for two matches for Argentina but will be with the team for the matches against Venezuela and Ecuador. According to TNT Sports, Martinez and Buendia, along with Cristian Romero and Gio Lo Celso, will all be with the team.
Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni and the AFA will try to reduce their two match ban. The four players were suspended for having broken Brazilian COVID protocols.
Lautaro Martínez of Inter has tested positive for COVID and will miss Argentina’s World Cup qualifying match against Venezuela.
Martínez tested positive for COVID prior to flying out from Italy to Spain to take a flight to Argentina. He will miss the match against Venezuela on Friday.
Argentina national team coach will hope to have him for the second match against Ecuador on March 29 but he would have to test negative prior to the match.
Paulo Dybala will reportedly leave Juventus for free at the end of the season.
Dybala will no longer be a Juventus player at the end of the season. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Argentine will leave as a free agent. There was an agreement put in place in October for €8 million plus €2 million net salary until 2026.
However, the club has since changed their proposal and Dybala is unhappy with the new conditions. He will open talks with other clubs.
The 28 year old joined Juventus from Palermo in 2015 where he finished his first season with 19 league goals, 23 goals in total. Returning from injury, Dybala scored for Juventus in their last match.
Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has not called Dybala up for this week’s World Cup qualifying matches.
Gio Lo Celso of Villarreal is flying to Argentina for the World Cup qualifiers despite being suspended.
Lo Celso is on the plane with the Argentina national team. While he is suspended for two matches, like Cristian Romero, the AFA are hoping to have the ban reduced down to one match. If the ban is reduced, Lo Celso would be available for the second match against Ecuador but would miss the first match against Venezuela.
Nicolas Otamendi uploaded a picture on his Instagram of himself with Lo Celso, Angel Correa, Rodrigo De Paul and Lucas Ocampos on a flight to Argentina.
