Football for Garnacho in United’s draw and alarm for Scaloni: will he make it to the friendlies of the national team?

Alexander Garnacho dreamed of holding the key to an epic triumph for the Manchester Utdwho played with a man down against the southampton From Carlos Alcaraz, to date 27 of the Premier League. But for the young Argentine it ended up being a nightmare: they kicked him inside the area – which was not even reviewed by the VAR – and he had to ask for the substitution a few minutes after entering. While awaiting the club’s medical report, the injury could complicate his presence with the Argentina national team in ten days’ time, when he will play his first friendlies as world champion.

79 minutes go by, Garnacho, as always, is concentrated on the left wing to face from outside. He received the ball and set up in a 1v1 against Kyle Walker-Peters, entered the box, bowled it long and his rival swept it in for a corner, but also grabbed his right leg.

The one born in Spain but who chose to play for Argentina due to his mother’s nationality had many gestures of grief and had to be assisted. He tried to rejoin the field, but a couple of minutes later he had to leave the field in Fred’s place, with tears in his eyes.

United’s official medical report awaited – who ended up drawing 0-0 with the presence of Lisandro Martínezrebuked- to find out if he will be available for the friendlies against Panama and Curaçao, which the Argentine national team will play in Buenos Aires and Santiago del Estero, between 23 and 28 March.
