Lionel Messi is worried, the two players who can stay out of the World Cup
Scaloni's words after the last friendly cause concern, shortly after the debut against Saudi Arabia
Despite the fact that the Argentine team thrashed in their last friendly before the World Cup in Qatar, Lionel Scaloni, coach of the current Copa América champion, announced that there could be changes to the 26-player list. Now, it is revealed who could be left out of the squad, shortly after the debut against Saudi Arabia.
Not everything was happiness within the National Team after the friendly against the United Arab Emirates. Despite thrashing the Asians 5-0, Scaloni is concerned about the physical condition of two elements, who would say goodbye to the delegation in the next few hours, if it is confirmed that they will not be able to add any minutes during the competition.

The journalist Gastón Edul, who is known for having accurate and exclusive information of Argentina's national team, confirmed that Marcos Acuña and Nicolás González are the players being observed by the medical staff, to determine whether or not they will continue with the rest of the squad.
The ‘Egg’, as they call him in Argentina and in Sevilla, has chronic groin pain and the minutes played in the friendly against the Emirates would have caused him to relapse into his injury. For his part, the Fiorentina winger had not been well since his arrival from Italy and could not play the last test.
Who could replace the possible departures of Acuña and González?
If it is confirmed that they are not in a position to play the World Cup, Lionel Scaloni could choose to call Facundo Medina and Thiago Almada. Although the possible call of Ángel Correa is not ruled out, who, although he does not fulfill the same functions as Nico, was one of the fixed ones in the entire Scaloni process.
