Juan Foyth joins Villarreal on loan from Tottenham, option to buy

Juan Foyth has joined Villarreal from Tottenham on a loan deal with an option to buy.

Per a report by Fabrizio Romano, the Argentine defender has joined the Spanish club. An announcement is expected with the buy option reportedly at €15 million. Still only 22 years of age, Foyth has not played many minutes since the arrival of Jose Mourinho at the club.

Foyth has been selected by Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni for this month’s World Cup qualifiers.

Cristian Pavon could miss Argentina World Cup qualifiers

Cristian Pavon could miss Argentina’s World Cup qualifying matches later this month.

Players from the Argentina national team are expected to start landing on Monday for the two World Cup qualifying matches against Ecuador and Bolivia next week. However, Pavon might miss the games.

Several reasons could lead to the Argentine missing the games. Per a report by TyC Sports, Pavon would have to take a flight over to Madrid to take a charter flight where most of the players will be using. Some other players will be using a flight chartered by Lionel Messi.

Should Pabon take part in the matches, upon his arrival back to Los Angeles, he would have to be self isolated for 10 days and would miss matches for his club. It also looks like Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni wants Pavon in the team but would not necessarily be a starter.

Agustín Marchesín a doubt for Argentina World Cup qualifiers

Agustín Marchesín is a doubt for Argentina and could miss both World Cup qualifiers later this month.

Marchesín has been called up by Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni to the national team but the goalkeeper has a rib injury which could mean he would miss both matches. Emiliano Martínez of Aston Villa and Juan Musso of Udinese are the other two goalkeepers who have been called with Esteban Andrada of Boca and River Plate goalkeeper Franco Armani expected to complete the goalkeeping spots.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has already lost two defenders with Walter Kannemann of Gremio out after testing positive for COVID-19 and Renzo Saravia of Inter out due to injury.
