Marcos Senesi has been called up to the Italian antional team for the match against Argentina.

Senesi could soon represent Italy. Per VarskySports, Italy coach Roberto Mancini has decided to call up the Feyenoord defender for their national team.

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has yet to call up Senesi to the team. Should Scaloni include Senesi in the team for the match against Italy, Senesi would become the first player in history to be called up to two different national teams for the same match.

Even if Mancini does include the 25 year old in the team, that does not mean he will play. According to Mirko Calemme, Senesi prefers to play for the Argentina national team.

Cristian Romero is out injured for the rest of the season for Tottenham Hotspur.

Romero will miss Tottenham’s last two league matches against Burnley and Norwich. Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte confirmed that Romero will not play this season after having received a knock on his hip.

Tottenham’s final league match of the season is on May 22 as Argentina play on June 1 against Italy at Wembley. Similar to Leandro Paredes, Cristian Romero will be fighting against time to be fit for that match.

Leandro Paredes was back in training with PSG on Friday following surgery.

Paredes is racing against time to be ready for Argentina’s match against Italy on June 1 at Wembley. He underwent surgery in April due to a groin injury and the initial diagnosis was he would be out for two months.

PSG have reported that the Argentine is back training and he trained alone on Friday. While he will not play for PSG this season, there is a possibility that he would be ready for Argentina’s match.
