Change in Argentina: Nicolás González was left out of the World Cup due to injury and Ángel Correa is his replacement

The Argentine team debuts this Tuesday, November 22, at the Qatar 2022 World Cup against Saudi Arabia and hopes to start off on the right foot. However, a few days after that commitment, the squad led by Lionel Scaloni already has its first casualty who will miss the entire competition: Nicolás González.

Through their social networks, the official account of the ‘Albiceleste’ announced that the Fiorentina striker suffered a muscle injury after training this Thursday and was left out of the list of 26 called up to play the tournament. Instantly, the South American cast informed his replacement.

In this sense, Ángel Correa will occupy Nico’s place and will join the working group led by Lionel Messi. The Atlético de Madrid footballer will travel in the next few hours and meet with the team ahead of the first game in the 2022 World Cup.

It should be remembered that, after the win (5-0) against the United Arab Emirates in the recent friendly, the technical director Lionel Scaloni left open the option of making some changes to the list. “We have some little problems. We will be waiting during these days, to see if we will have to make any changes”he noted for DIRECTV Sports.

“We have a few days to decide the topic of the list. If I’m honest, I can’t say 100% today, but we have time. Luckily, or bad luck, we can change. I hope not, but there is the possibility”he added.

In the same way, he noted the following: “It is true that some did not play out of caution. Today those who could have played, and those who could not play more minutes we changed them, they are all old enough to know how they are doing and how much they can play ”.
