Clearly, this World Cup preparation is cutting heads. After Lennart Karl or even Julio Enciso, here it is on the side of Argentina which we must now turn to see the damage.
Leonardo Balerdi is out of the high mass of world football, as indicated in a press release by the Argentine Football Federation. Hit in the leg during trainingit should, at a minimum, stay away from the grounds for a month according to the sources of ESPN journalist Nacho Rivarola. Crippling.

At 27 years old, the Marseille defender, who should leave the club this summer, certainly sees a unique chance to participate in the World Cup before him. A real blow for the player who also certainly hoped to shine to find the right match for him at the start of the school year. Lionel Scaloni will replace him, while Argentina begins its tournament against Algeria on June 17.
Ousmane Dembélé est dégoûté.
