U20 World Cup: Placente’s XI to face Colombia and reach the final | OneFootball

The Albiceleste will face the coffee growers for a spot in the final of the Youth World Cup, and Diego Placente has three confirmed absences.

The Argentina U-20 National Team will face Colombia this Wednesday, starting at 20:00, in the semifinals of the U-20 World Cup taking place in Chile, and for this crucial match, Diego Placente will have to make two forced changes compared to the eleven that defeated Mexico 2-0 in the quarterfinals. Find out the probable lineup of the Argentine coach.

Argentina beat Mexico and returned to the semifinals of the U-20 World Cup after 18 years, but Placente suffered two significant losses thinking about the match against Colombia. The first is Maher Carrizo, a forward from Vélez who was booked and reached the limit of two in the tournament, so he must serve a suspension and could return in a potential final.

The other is Valente Pierani, a defender from Estudiantes and an irreplaceable starter for the team. The left-footed center-back suffered a knee sprain during the first half against Mexico and had to be replaced, although in his case, it is more difficult for him to make it to a possible final. These two joined Álvaro Montoro, who fractured his clavicle against Nigeria in the round of 16, and thus the coach lost three starters ahead of the semifinal.

Juan Manuel Villalba came in for Pierani and is most likely to play against the Colombians, while Ian Subiabre would play for Carrizo. On the other hand, Gianluca Piestrani replaced Montoro against Mexico and would be in the lineup again for the semis.
