Prestianni knows if he is one of Scaloni's 2 Argentina cuts | OneFootball

Gianluca Prestianni arrived at the Argentina national team camp carrying a concern, but the latest information is reassuring for Benfica. The winger initially trained separately before being reassessed by the Albiceleste’s medical department, which decided to keep the player among Lionel Scaloni’s options.

According to the Argentine press, the coach ultimately released Thiago Almada and Juan Foyth, both due to physical issues. Prestianni, on the other hand, will remain with the national team and still has a chance of being used in the upcoming international fixtures.

The discomfort in the left ankle that the Benfica player brought with him to the training camp was traumatic in nature and, according to the information provided by the Argentine medical department, there is no serious injury to report.

The news therefore allows Benfica to breathe a sigh of relief, especially given the moment Prestianni is going through at the Estádio da Luz. The winger has been gaining ground in Marco Silva’s plans and has taken on growing importance in the Eagles’ team. Everything indicates, therefore, that the number 25 could continue to represent Argentina in the friendlies against Bolivia, Burkina Faso and Benin.

The last match, moreover, carries special significance, as it is expected to serve as Lionel Messi’s farewell to the Argentina national team. The match will be played at the Monumental, in Buenos Aires, and Prestianni intends to be present for a historic moment for the Albiceleste. For Benfica, the priority now is to monitor the player’s physical condition during the international break, but the initial signs are, for now, easing fears of an injury that could force him to stop.
