What will Messi think? Scandal between two stars of the Argentine National Team

The Argentina national team is the best in the world right now. They proved it less than a year ago, when they won the title in Qatar 2022 by giving a unique show in the final against France. And since then they have played better and better. In fact, they won their first four matches in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

One of the secrets of success is the great relationship between the players. In every interview and press conference, they and coach Lionel Scaloni emphasize that they feel very comfortable every time they get together and that this is a decisive factor for things to work out on the field.

However, this Monday something happened that could affect them. In the match between Tottenham and Chelsea in Premier League, Cristian Romero was sent off for a hard kick against Enzo Fernandez, during the first half. Initially Michael Oliver had not considered it to be a foul, but the VAR intervened and the referee changed his mind: he sent off the Argentine defender and gave The Blues a penalty, which they netted through Cole Palmer.

But things did not end there, as at the start of the second half Enzo Fernandez had to be replaced by Mykhailo Mydrik due to pain in his left foot after Romero's blow.

It could be a problem for them

Coach Lionel Scaloni may be worried about Enzo Fernandez's injury, as next week the Argentina National Team will meet to face Uruguay in Buenos Aires and Brazil in Rio de Janeiro, for the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. Lionel Messi, who is 100% recovered from his muscle injury and will play his last game with Inter Miami in 2023 against New York City FC this Friday, will undoubtedly be there.
