Palmeiras: Giay called up to the Argentina squad | OneFootball

One of Palmeiras’ standout players in recent matches, right-back Agustín Giay, 21, has been called up by Lionel Scaloni to the Argentina national team.

Called up by Scaloni

Initially, Palmeiras’ right-back was not included in Scaloni’s original squad list, but due to an injury to Montiel, the coach chose to call up Giay to complete the group for the friendly ahead of the World Cup.

It is an opportunity for the 21-year-old player, who has received his first call-up to the senior national team, to stand out and push for a spot in the World Cup squad in June.

Lionel Scaloni’s team will face Mauritania on March 27 and Zambia on March 31.

Absence?

With the call-up, Flaco López and Giay will not be available to Abel Ferreira during the FIFA international window. However, since the match is in Argentina, the players may return in time for the game against Grêmio on April 2 in Barueri.
