The world of Unión is living hours of expectation around Lautaro Vargas. This Thursday could be decisive in knowing whether he will be called up by Diego Placente for the Argentina U20 team, which will face the World Cup in Chile.

The situation generates special attention because, despite having been part of most of the previous process, Vargas was not in the last week of training at the AFA premises. This absence raised questions, although there are still no official confirmations.

For now, the red-and-white leadership has not received any notification. However, the announcement of the definitive list that Placente must submit keeps everyone on tenterhooks. Not only for what it means as a source of pride that a player from the club represents the Albiceleste, but also for the immediate sporting implications.

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