The youth, who saw the opportunity to make their debut at the Major after passing the Under-20, misses the party of the world champion.
The Argentina national team will celebrate its big celebration for the inauguration of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 during the first FIFA date of the year. The friendlies that the Albiceleste will play against Panamá, in the Monumental, and Curaçao, in the Madre de Ciudades, will serve as an excuse to celebrate the expected third star, but they also seem like a very good opportunity for Lionel Scaloni to start filming. the new crop of football players who will join the world champions in the near future.
The formation of Argentina against Panama
In this sense, one of the players who raised the most expectations was Alejandro Garnacho, the winger born in Spain to an Argentinean mother who got a great opportunity to make his debut in the Major League after moving through the Under-20s. However, the Manchester United footballer could not even join the squad
WHY GARNACHO DON’T PLAY AGAINST PANAMA AND CURACAO
Although the attacker has not yet made a final decision on whether he will represent the Albiceleste or play for his native country, this second call-up from Scaloni was another step to become one of the youth players with the greatest projection in the world (in this sense, he just became one of nine chosen by GOAL for the NXGN Nine) to play for the Argentina national team.
Also on this occasion, the Madrid-born man was expected to make his official debut in the world champion’s jersey. But it can’t be: on Sunday, March 12, during the game between United and Southampton, Garnacho suffered a hard foul from Kyle Walker-Peters, which left him with a “stragalofibular ligament sprain of his right ankle”, for which he will be charged for about a month and a half recovery, the Red Devils confirm in a statement.
Although there was speculation after the injury about the possibility that the player would go the same way to at least participate in the celebration of the title in Qatar, it was the striker himself who confirmed on social networks that he would not be at the game are. the team: “I am disappointed to miss the chance to be with my Argentina national team teammates, it would have been a very proud moment for me and my family“.
