Argentina’s head coach Lionel Scaloni did not include Blanco in the starting lineup for the game against Panama this morning, a 2-0 win that featured goals from Thiago Almada and Messi. The Franjiverde defender put on his national team uniform after the final whistle to celebrate with his teammates and posed for a photo with Messi. The moment was shared on Blanco’s Instagram account.
Looking ahead, Blanco will need to continue proving himself to Scaloni. He could be among the selections for the upcoming match against Curaçao, scheduled for Monday through Tuesday (Spanish time) at dawn. If given minutes, it would represent another step in his development with the national team.

Following the Curaçao match, Blanco is expected to return to Elche. He had completed at least two training sessions before the green-and-whites faced FC Barcelona the following Saturday. The arrangement around his playing time has sparked considerable interest in the province.

In recent months, Blanco has received limited opportunities, despite calls from supporters to participate in the squad. Machín acknowledged the pressure but emphasized that selection rests with the coach. A reporter pressed, asking about Clerc, to which Machín replied, underscoring the need to keep evaluating all options.

Transfer
Blanco joined the club in the summer with an arrangement to finish his season in Argentina before entering the winter transfer window. He arrived in Elche in November to prepare for the season after the World Cup. In his first spell, he appeared in eight games across twelve days, starting twice and playing the full match on one occasion. His total minutes were modest, totaling 285.
Beccacece’s arrival in Elche is seen as a potential turning point for his first foray into the Spanish league. The new green-gray coach is familiar with Argentine competitions and could feature Blanco more regularly in the coming fixtures.
