Dibu Martínez injured in Aston Villa warm-up, out v Forest | OneFootball

Just two months before the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina national team is starting to face some concerns: Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez was injured during the warm-up before Aston Villa’s Premier League match against Nottingham Forest.

The Argentine goalkeeper was seen grimacing in pain while kicking the ball, and after consulting with the English club’s coaching staff, he stopped the pre-match warm-up and will not even be on the bench.

This is a warning sign for Scaloni, since Dibu is undoubtedly one of the untouchables when it comes to building the national team. While they await the medical tests and results, the goalkeeper’s future remains uncertain.

In addition, this comes on top of Lautaro Martínez’s injury at Inter. He had just recovered from a muscle tear and scored twice against Roma, only to aggravate the same issue again. He is expected to need around 15 days to recover.
