Argentina’s injury list: latest updates ahead of the Finalissima | OneFootball

After Qatar decided on the return of football, there is anticipation that the match against Spain will take place on March 27 in Doha. Who will attend that encounter?

After Qatar decided on the return of football following the bombings initiated by the United States against Iran, which prompted responses from nearby countries, the Argentine National Team is eagerly awaiting what might happen with the match against Spain for the Finalissima, scheduled for March 27. Lionel Scaloni is starting to consider the players he has available.

Since the match was never suspended, everything indicates that the commitment between the champion of America and the champion of Europe will take place at the end of the month, although it remains to be seen if there will be a change of venue, a possibility that emerged last week or not.

Meanwhile, the coach who lifted the World Cup in Qatar already knows he won't be able to count on defender Juan Foyth, who even missed the World Cup because he suffered a serious injury to the Achilles tendon in his right leg weeks ago.

The Villarreal player's absence is, for now, the only confirmed one because several others had been in doubt in recent weeks, but they managed to recover, like Lisandro Martínez, Nicolás Tagliafico, and Leandro Paredes, who returned to play for Boca after missing some matches due to an ankle problem.

Those who have not yet returned after muscle injuries are Lautaro Martínez and Giovanni Lo Celso. The Toro has been suffering from a “strain in the soleus of his left leg” since February 20 and has not returned since, although this Sunday he was on the bench during Inter's 1-0 defeat to Milan in the derby. The idea is for him to return to the field very soon.

Meanwhile, the midfielder from Rosario Central is the most complicated to make it to the clash with La Roja because at the beginning of February he had a muscle injury and is still sidelined at Betis, painting a complicated picture. If he is present against Spain, it will be with few minutes under his belt.

Thus, Scaloni is beginning to analyze options for who can fill those positions, awaiting a decision on the Finalissima. Additionally, that duel could be the last test for the Albiceleste before the World Cup, as they had a friendly scheduled against Qatar, which is also uncertain due to the military conflicts.
