In his replacement, the CT (technical body) of Argentina summons Ángel Correa ”, wrote the AFA on the official Twitter account of the team.

The name of the Fiorentina midfielder had entered speculation roulette in recent hours due to the muscular problems he was suffering, after coach Lionel Scaloni warned on Wednesday, after winning 5-0 in a friendly in the United Arab Emirates, that “There are players who are not one hundred percent” and that there was the “possibility” of making changes to the list.
