The Unión world is living hours of anticipation surrounding Lautaro Vargas. This Thursday could be decisive in finding out whether he will be called up by Diego Placente to the Argentina U-20 National Team, which will compete in the World Cup in Chile.

The situation is drawing special attention because, despite having been part of most of the previous process, Vargas was not present during the last week of training at the AFA complex. That absence has raised questions, although there are still no official confirmations.

For now, the rojiblanca management has not received any notification. However, the announcement of the final squad list that Placente must submit keeps everyone on edge. Not only because of the pride it would bring to have a club player represent the Albiceleste, but also due to the immediate sporting implications.

Leonardo Madelón is closely following the decision, since if the call-up is confirmed, it is likely he will not be able to count on Vargas for the match against Independiente Rivadavia. The coach is planning alternatives, but knows that everything will depend on what happens in the coming hours.
