During the World Cup in Qatar, Lionel Scaloni, coach of the Argentine team, could not use two elements in the entire tournament held in the Middle East. Now, one of them could give up the current world champion due to the little space and his advanced age. However, it will be part of the tribute that the AFA is preparing in March.

This is Franco Armani. The River Plate goalkeeper started the process of Lionel Scaloni on the substitute bench as an immovable starter, however, before the arrival of Emiliano Martínez he lost the position. With the 'Dibu' in the goal, the Albiceleste managed to win three international titles (Copa América 2021, Finalissima 2022 and Qatar World Cup).

What's more, prior to the World Cup in Qatar, the outstanding coach announced that Armani went from being the starter in the National Team to third goalkeeper, even surpassed by Gerónimo Rulli, current player for Ajax in the Netherlands. Now, with no space in the world champion and at 36 years old, the winner of the Copa Libertadores with Atlético Nacional and River could step aside.

Armani will be called up in March for the two friendlies in Argentina:

The journalist Gastón Edul confirmed that between March 21 and 28 the Argentine team will play two friendlies in the country. The list will include all the world champions, including Armani, plus the elements that missed the World Cup due to injury (Nicolás González and Joaquín Correa). It could be the last call for the River Plate goalkeeper.
