The Argentina National Team is already gathered to face the CONMEBOL Qualifiers, in a double matchday where they will face two key classics on their way to qualifying for the 2026 World Cup: first against Uruguay in Montevideo and then against Brazil at the Monumental.
In the lead-up to the final tactical training sessions to define the starting line-up, Lionel Scaloni received worrying news: Lautaro Martínez might miss the match against La Celeste in Montevideo.
According to journalist Federico Bueno on ESPN, El Toro arrived from Italy with muscle discomfort, and his presence in the match against Marcelo Bielsa's team this Friday night is uncertain. There is even a possibility that he won't be part of the starting eleven to avoid worsening his physical condition.
This discomfort originated in his recent appearances with Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League, where El Toro was a substitute in the return match against Feyenoord and didn't have minutes on the field.
