His recovery is expected until the commitment against the Netherlands. This is of course, a very sensitive injury, as Angel Di Maria and Alejandro Gomez are two key players on Lionel Scaloni's scheme, they were also a crucial reason why Argentina won Copa America 2021.

The 'Noodle' missed the match against Australia due to muscle overload. However, everything indicates that he would arrive without any news at the commitment against the Dutch. The last time Argentina faced the Netherlands in a World Cup was in 2014, when the Albiceleste beat the Europeans in the semifinals and on penalties.
