The terrible news that Lionel Messi receives before the World Cup benefits Mbappe

Lionel Messi is focused on the World Cup in Qatar, where Argentina starts as one of the main favorites along with Brazil, France and Germany. However the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) received bad news prior to his debut in the World Cup against Saudi Arabia, to be played on November 22. 

It turns out that Giovani Lo Celso's absence from the World Cup was confirmed. Although Villarreal is expected to rule on the subject, TyC Sports commented that the absence of the outstanding midfielder is a fact.

A ‘miracle’ was expected regarding his physical condition, but the club does not want to risk the former Rosario Central player, who suffered a muscle detachment. Even though Lo Celso is a very important player on Lionel Scaloni's scheme, it makes no sense to riks a player if he's not 100% fit.

Lo Celso has been key in Lionel Scaloni's scheme, but the injury suffered a few days ago complicates the DT, who will define his replacement in the next few hours. The midfielder did not add any minutes in Russia 2018, despite being summoned by Jorge Sampaoli, and bad luck followed him until the edition that will take place in Qatar.

Who could be Lo Celso's replacement in the World Cup? 

Lionel Scaloni will have his last friendly against the United Arab Emirates and there will define the player who will replace Lo Celso in the debut. There is the option of Enzo Fernández, who shines at Benfica, or Guido Rodríguez himself. Everything will depend on the context in which the duels of the first phase take place.
