Now, the journalist Gastón Edul announced that the Copa América 2021 and Finalissima 2022 champion midfielder suffered a muscle injury and everything indicates that he will miss the debut against Saudi Arabia.

There are two scenarios around Lo Celso's annoyance, who is key in Lionel Scaloni's scheme. The first, that the recovery time is two weeks. The most complex is that he is absent from the courts for 21 days and his performance in Argentina's first World Cup match is ruled out.

If Lionel Scaloni decides to quote Enzo Fernández, the current midfielder of the Benfica would be the number option to replace Lo Celso. Opposite case, Alexis Mac Allister appears as an alternative in the midfield of the National Team, since he has been part of the Albiceleste process.
