As things stand right now, Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho is reportedly not going to the World Cup this summer.

He is a player who would have been expecting to go. But apparently, as of now at least, and things could change, he will not be going to the World Cup this summer with his national side, Argentina.

This news will come as very surprising and disappointing to the young attacker. But the reality is, he’s a Chelsea bench player when everyone is fit and available, nothing more than that. So is he even good enough to be going to the World Cup with Argentina?

I personally find him too inconsistent and just not good enough, but I did think he would go with the squad at least and perhaps be on the bench for them. I didn’t expect him to be a starter for Argentina this summer, but I did think he would go.

But apparently, right now he is not going.

A good source says so

Liam Rosenior gives Alejandro Garnacho a note against PSG.

As cited on X this week, at this moment, Alejandro Garnacho is not even being considered for the World Cup squad by Argentina, according to local reliable reporter Gaston Edul.

It does not sound good for the Chelsea man, does it?

In other news…

Romeo Lavia’s first start in the Premier League since October was one of the few bright spots of the Everton game at the weekend, although even then it wasn’t fully convincing.

Chelsea’s lowest rated player overall was Robert Sanchez, who continued his infamous Chelsea career with yet more foolishness.
