The players of the Albicelestial They will take care of themselves so as not to suffer injuries that could jeopardize their participation in the World Cup. They will not run the risk of suffering another case like that of John LoCelso.

After leaving the field of play in the reserve shirt, Lionel Scaloni’s starting eleven lined up for the photo with a poster banning Rosario.

“Thurs #AllTogetherThe message in support of the midfielder who missed the 2022 World Cup in Qatar due to a detached hamstring tendon in his right leg reads. Alexis Mac Allister came on for him against the United Arab Emirates.

The Lo Celso operation

After the inevitable fait accompli, Giovani Lo Celso embarked on the road to recovery: he hopes to be on the field next year and for this reason he went to Finland, where he was operated on a few days ago by someone who is considered an eminence of the sports medicine: Lasse Lempainen, who recently had Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembélé in the operating room.

The surgery was performed at Mehiläinen Neo Sports Hospital, a private center located in the city of Turku, Finland, where Lempainen specializes in injuries to the knees, ankles and their muscles and tendons. He performs about 350 surgeries a year.

Lempainen dealt with the detachment of the hamstring tendon in his right leg and after the operation Rosario’s midfielder gave him the Argentine’s shirt with number 20 which he will no longer use at the World Cup in Qatar: that number now belongs to Alexis MacAllister.

As expected, the Villarreal player will be off the pitch for at least the next three months, so the Rosario player is only expected to return to the pitch in March. The rehabilitation will be carried out entirely in Spain.

Initially, Lo Celso tried to avoid surgery to be in the World Cup and then have surgery. There was also some kind of compensation for leading the Yellow Submarine: they didn’t get their salary until they had a medical discharge.

However, Lo Celso’s plan had no accomplices, allies, or anyone to support him in his crusade. He surmised what his fate was and entered the operating room. He will give the surgeon the shirt that he won’t wear and will follow the World Cup from the screen. “I will support like another Argentine from anywhere,” she acknowledged on his Instagram account.
