MADRID, 17 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Atlético de Madrid striker Ángel Correa will be at the Qatar 2022 World Cup after a last-minute call from Argentina, due to the injury this Thursday of Nicolás González.
“After today’s training, the soccer player Nicolás González suffered a muscle injury and will be disaffected from the World Cup roster. In his replacement, the Argentina coach summons Ángel Correa,” the albiceleste wrote on her Twitter account.
The Fiorentina player suffered the mishap in the double world champion’s first training session in Doha. After the win (5-0) on Wednesday against the United Arab Emirates, the Argentine coach, Lionel Scaloni, was concerned about the physical condition of several of his players.
Correa had been the last discard for Scaloni, a stick that now becomes an illusion with the call to Qatar, although due to the injury of a teammate. Argentina will debut on the 22nd against Saudi Arabia, in a Group C that it also shares with Poland and Mexico.
