Day of surprises at the University of Qatar. Joaquín Correa has been released by the Argentina national team who will play in the 2022 World Cup. The AFA announced it through its official channels. It is not yet known who will replace him. The possible candidates are Thiago Almada, Giovanni Simeone and Alejandro Garnacho. The news was released hours after he was dropped from Nicolás González’s squad. And he may not be the last.
The Inter forward from Tucumán suffers from tendonitis in his left knee. It’s an injury that had been dragging on for several weeks and that had taken away continuity from his team.
Correa, however, played the last 45 minutes of the friendly against the United Arab Emirates and also scored the goal that decorated the 5-0. However, beyond his participation, the coaching staff had observed that the player was not one hundred per cent. From there started the rumors of his possible disaffection which took on even more strength after the declarations of the coach.
“We have some problems but we are serene because we still have several days to decide the object of the definitive list. I honestly cannot guarantee one hundred percent that they are all there, but luckily or unfortunately we have this possibility. The list we could change is the 26th, because the pre-list of 55 is already closed”, said Scaloni still in Abu Dhabi.

Shortly before the departure of Joaquín Correa became known, Scaloni had dropped Nicolás González from the list and incorporated Ángel Correa as his replacement.
“After today’s training, the footballer Nicolás González suffered a muscle injury and will be excluded from the World Cup roster. In his place, the coach of @Argentina, calls up Ángel Correa”, assured the Selection via Twitter.
