The Argentine National Team has a large base of immovable players who seem to have their place practically guaranteed in Lionel Scaloni's squad. This group was put together since the consecration in the Copa América 2021 in Brazil and then was reaffirmed with the world championship in Qatar 2022. However, there are exceptions and it seems that there are some who will never return to the national team.
One of these cases is that of Papu Gómez, who was deleted just after the World Cup for unknown reasons. Alejandro knew how to be part of the group of leaders and was seen making jokes all the time with Nico Otamendi, Lionel Messi, Ángel Di María and other pillars of the Albiceleste. However, something happened during the World Cup that made everyone let go of his hand, including Scaloni, who never called him up for the National Team again.
Now, another one who was ignored by the blue and white coach was Joaquín Correa. Tucu had arrived with just enough physical fitness to the training sessions prior to Qatar 2022, but did not reveal his true physical condition for fear of being disaffected for the event. However, in practice they discovered that he was not well and that caused great anger in Scaloni, who not only removed him from that squad for the World Cup, but also never called him up again.
In recent months, the one who emerged from Estudiantes de La Plata signed for Olympique de Marseille to try to gain that prominence that he lost recently with Inter, but at the moment things have not gone so well for him in France and his chances of to be cited again appear to be void.

Although it will no longer be taken into account, Tucu was the author of the 2-1 to come back in La Paz in 2020. That day, Lionel Scaloni was seen very euphoric about the result, something difficult to imagine today.
