Just a few hours ago, everything was joy in the selected argentinian: the win against the United Arab Emirates, the certainty of having a solid and united group, the presence of Lionel Messi at a good level. However, today the ‘albiceleste’ has had to face two casualties due to injury: first Nicolás González, now it is Joaquín Correa.
The Inter Milan striker had overcome, days before Scaloni’s call-up, an injury to his left knee tendon. He was even able to have competitive pace with the Italian team. However, the striker would have relapsed in the friendly against the UAE.
Let’s remember that ‘Tucu’ entered the second half for Marcos Acuña and did not take long to score the fifth goal (60′) for the Argentine team. On the other hand, coach Lionel Scaloni, foreseeing a scenario of this magnitude, mentioned after the game against the Arab team that the players are already “big enough to say if they are in condition or not”.
