Lionel Scaloni is not counting on Agustín Rossi for the 2026 World Cup


With about a month to go until the start of the 2026 World Cup, national teams are beginning to prepare with an eye on their final call-ups. As the current champions of the tournament, Argentina released their preliminary squad list with 55 players, but the absence of one familiar name drew attention: Agustín Rossi, Flamengo's goalkeeper.

Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni named six goalkeepers in the national team's preliminary list, but left Rossi out. It is worth noting that in the 2025 season, Flamengo's No. 1 was one of the squad's main standouts that year, playing a key role in winning the club's fourth Libertadores title.
