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

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

Lionel Scaloni now has the squad almost complete ahead of the matches against Venezuela next Thursday at 8:30 p.m. and Ecuador the following Tuesday at 8 p.m. The players of the Argentina National Team have been arriving in the country, and this afternoon the coach will have 28 out of the 29 called-up players available for the evening practice. The only one missing is Alexis Mac Allister, who, due to complications with his flights, will arrive at night.

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

Those who arrived on Sunday trained on the pitch, while those who landed yesterday watched the action from the sidelines, well bundled up and accompanied by some mate.

On Tuesday morning, those coming from France arrived (Nicolás Tagliafico, Leonardo Balerdi, and Gerónimo Rulli), and Emiliano Martínez also landed in the country, who ultimately will not play for Manchester United. The last to arrive, just after 8 a.m., was Nicolás González, who had a busy final day of the transfer window as he was loaned to Atlético de Madrid and completed his first training session under Diego Simeone.

Mac Allister was also supposed to arrive this morning, but due to delays in his flight, he missed the connection in Amsterdam that would bring him to Argentina. For this reason, he will arrive tonight from Paris and will be the only one not present at the afternoon training session.

As has been customary for several years, the official account of the Argentina National Team showed the looks of the called-up players arriving at the Lionel Messi complex and also shared images of the evening training session. Now with a full squad, La Albiceleste will train today at 5 p.m. and on Wednesday will hold the final practice before the match against Venezuela. Hours earlier, Lionel Scaloni will speak to the press.
