Argentina squad nearly complete for World Cup qualifiers double-header | OneFootball

This Tuesday morning, five of the six missing footballers arrived from Europe, and Lionel Scaloni will have everyone available for this Tuesday's evening training. The only one missing is Alexis Mac Allister, who due to flight complications will arrive tonight.

Lionel Scaloni now has almost the complete squad ahead of the matches against Venezuela this coming Thursday at 20.30 and Ecuador the following Tuesday at 20. The players of the Argentina National Team were arriving in the country and this afternoon the coach will have 28 of the 29 called up available for the evening practice. The only one missing is Alexis Mac Allister, who due to complications in his flights will arrive at night.

After the first league matches in Europe, those called up by the coach from Pujato embarked on the journey to their home country. The vast majority arrived between Sunday and Monday, including Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul, the only ones who came from the United States. As announced, the Argentine captain arrived accompanied by his entire family, as this Thursday will be his last match in the country for the Qualifiers.

Those who arrived on Sunday did field work, while those who landed yesterday watched the actions from the side, well wrapped up and accompanied by some mates.

Tuesday morning saw the arrival of those coming from France (Nicolás Tagliafico, Leonardo Balerdi and Gerónimo Rulli) and Emiliano Martínez also landed in the country, who will finally not play at Manchester United. The last to arrive, after 8, was Nicolás González, who had a busy last market day as he was loaned to Atlético de Madrid and completed his first training under the orders of Diego Simeone.

Mac Allister was the other one who was supposed to arrive this morning, but due to delays in his flight he did not make the connection in Amsterdam that brought him to Argentina. For this reason, he will arrive tonight from Paris and will be the only one not present at the afternoon training.

As has been customary for several years, the official account of the Argentina National Team showed the looks of the called up players who were arriving at the Lionel Messi complex and also shared images of the evening training. Now with a complete squad, the Albiceleste will train today at 17 and on Wednesday the last practice before the match against Venezuela will take place. Hours before, Lionel Scaloni will speak to the press.
