Argentina will miss the 2022 World Cup due to serious injuries

Argentina will lose one of Lionel Messi’s top assistants as they prepare to win the World Cup in Qatar. It has been revealed by Mundo Deportivo that Giovani Lo Celso won’t be at the competition.

Less than two weeks ago, the 26-year-old Villarreal playmaker was injured against Athletic Club, but it was anticipated that with careful care, he would recover in time. He won’t need surgery, however, so he will miss the competition.

For Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni, who has counted on Lo Celso as a starter in midfield, it is a significant setback. In the World Cup qualifying process, he led Argentina in assists and was forming strong connections with Messi.

If Argentina is to get anything, it may be Enzo Fernandez’s form at Benfica. Since moving from River Plate to Europe in the summer, the 21-year-old has revolutionized European soccer. He helped Benfica defeat Paris Saint-Germain to win their Champions League group, and he might be a possibility to take Lo Celso’s spot.
