🔟 Injury concerns in Argentina: Scaloni won't take injured players | OneFootball

The coaching staff of the Argentina national team, led by Lionel Scaloni, has raised concerns ahead of finalizing the squad for the World Cup. According to sources close to the Ezeiza training ground, there are currently around 10 players regularly considered by the coach who are dealing with various physical issues.

Training pushed to the limit

Given this complex situation, the stance of the Santa Fe-born manager is inflexible and leaves no room for speculation. Scaloni plans to push each of the players carrying knocks to 100% in the upcoming training sessions.

The goal is to assess firsthand how their bodies respond under high-intensity workloads.

A policy with no exceptions

The coaching staff’s premise is clear: no player who is not in peak condition will be taken. Experience from previous tournaments has led them to tighten this policy, making it clear that big names will not influence the decision. Any player who fails to pass the physical tests will automatically be left out of the World Cup, prioritizing the collective well-being of the squad.
