Montiel trained separately due to a muscle overload | OneFootball

Gonzalo Montiel trained separately due to muscle overload and, although he does not have an injury, the coaching staff decided to reduce his workload to avoid complications ahead of Monday’s match against Austria in the second round of Group J.

The River full-back had started in the 3-0 win over Algeria, but his situation opens the door for Nahuel Molina to come in, an option Lionel Scaloni is already considering for the next match.

On the other hand, the Albiceleste received two pieces of good news: Nicolás Tagliafico has recovered from the discomfort in his left soleus and returned to training with the group, while Leandro Paredes continues training normally and is getting closer and closer to returning.

In addition to Montiel’s possible absence, Thiago Almada and Lautaro Martínez could make way for Nicolás González and Julián Álvarez. The team will start to take shape in the upcoming training sessions in Kansas.
