Argentina squad’s injury list: latest updates weeks before the Finalissima | OneFootball

After Qatar decided to resume football, there is anticipation that the match against Spain will take place on March 27 in Doha. Who will be attending that match?

After Qatar determined the return of football following the bombings initiated by the United States against Iran, which prompted responses from nearby countries, the Argentine National Team is eagerly awaiting what might happen with the match against Spain for the Finalissima, scheduled for March 27, and Lionel Scaloni is starting to consider the players he has available.

Since the match was never suspended, everything indicates that the commitment between the champion of America and the champion of Europe will take place at the end of the month, although it remains to be seen if there will be a change of venue, a possibility that emerged last week or not.

Meanwhile, the coach who lifted the World Cup in Qatar already knows he will not be able to count on defender Juan Foyth, who even missed the World Cup due to a serious injury to the Achilles tendon in his right leg.

The Villarreal player's absence is, for now, the only confirmed one because several players had been dealing with injuries in recent weeks but managed to recover, like Lisandro Martínez, Nicolás Tagliafico, and Leandro Paredes, who returned to play for Boca after missing some matches due to an ankle problem.

Those who have not yet returned from muscle injuries are Lautaro Martínez and Giovanni Lo Celso. The Toro has been suffering from a "strain in the soleus of the left leg" since February 20 and has not returned since, although this Sunday he was on the bench during Inter's 1-0 defeat against Milan in the derby. The idea is for him to return to the field very soon.

Meanwhile, the midfielder from Rosario Central is the most complicated to make it to the clash with La Roja because he suffered a muscle injury at the beginning of February and is still sidelined at Betis, painting a complicated picture. If he faces Spain, it will be with few minutes under his belt.

Thus, Scaloni is beginning to analyze options for who can fill those positions, awaiting a decision on the Finalissima. Moreover, this duel could be the last test for the Albiceleste before the World Cup, as they had scheduled a friendly against Qatar, which is also uncertain due to the ongoing conflicts.
