The midfielder will undergo surgery and a player would benefit from the unfortunate injury of the Villarreal element. He is not a starter in Europe, but he was part of the process. This is Exequiel Palacios. The Bayer Leverkusen midfielder would enter Lionel Scaloni's final list after it was confirmed that Lo Celso will not play the match where Argentina will debut against Saudi Arabia, this November 22.

The former River Plate player is not consolidated in Germany after his latest injury, but he has the confidence of the Albiceleste coach. Palacios, 24, has played 107 minutes in Leverkusen's last three games, not much considering that one has to be fit for the World Cup.
He was part of the Scaloni process, but lost space after the consolidation of Lo Celso, Rodrigo De Paul and Leandro Paredes in the midfield area. Which is why a lot of fans on social media showed their disagreement with the decision, although it is as of now, just a rumour.
When will it be known if Palacios will go to the World Cup?
Lionel Scaloni has until the 14th of November to give the final list of 26 players. According to the journalist Gastón Edul, the DT separated 28 players, including Exequiel Palacios and Giovani Lo Celso. Now, with his guaranteed non-participation, it would only remain to separate a selected one. It transpired that between Angel Correa and Juan Foyth fight for the last quota.
