Albiceleste coach unveils Fideo’s condition
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni spoke after the albiceleste’s victory over Poland, which guaranteed Messi and his teammates access to the round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The coach focused on the condition of Angel Di Maria, who came off badly during the second half: “Di Maria was fine at the beginning, he was substituted because of a discomfort in the quadriceps of his thigh, he felt his leg stiffen.”
“Angel is too important, we can’t risk it,” continued Scaloni, in a press conference.
In the round of 16, Argentina will face Australia, runners-up in Group D, won by defending world champion France.
