Prestianni kept in Argentina squad as ankle issue shows no serious damage | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Gianluca Prestianni will remain in Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina squad despite left ankle pain, while Thiago Almada and Juan Foyth have been released with fitness problems.

The Benfica winger arrived in camp restricted, initially training separately. He was then re-evaluated by national team’s medical staff and kept among Scaloni’s options.

His left ankle complaint was traumatic in nature and no serious damage has been detected by Argentina’s doctors.

The news eases Benfica’s concerns, particularly given his current form. Prestianni has been earning trust under Marco Silva and growing in importance for the team, wearing number 25.

He will continue with the squad and could feature in upcoming friendlies against Bolivia, Burkina Faso and Benin.

The final game is scheduled as Lionel Messi’s farewell for Argentina at the Monumental in Buenos Aires, and Prestianni wants to be involved.

Benfica will now monitor his fitness through the international break, with early signs easing fears of any lay-off.
