Con
los regresos de Messi y Agüero, la Albiceleste de Scaloni afrontará sus últimas
dos pruebas del año.
La
Selección argentina se prepara para afrontar en noviembre la última fecha FIFA
del año, en la cual tendrá dos exigentes pruebas de cara a un 2020 en el que
competirá tanto en las Eliminatorias Sudamericanas como en la Copa América. La
Albiceleste se medirá frente a Brasil, el viernes 15/11 en Ryad, Arabia
Saudita, y ante Uruguay, el martes 19/11, en Tel Aviv, Israel. Y a dos semanas
de dichos compromisos, se espera que Lionel Scaloni dé a conocer la lista de
convocados este jueves.
La gran
novedad en la convocatoria será la vuelta del capitán Lionel Messi, quien ya
cumplió los tres meses de sanción que le había impuesto la CONMEBOL luego de
sus fuertes declaraciones contra los arbitrajes en la Copa América de Brasil. El Diez, que se recuperó física y
futbolísticamente tras un comienzo de temporada difícil con el Barcelona, se
había perdido los últimos cuatro amistosos -de septiembre y octubre- ante
Chile, México, Alemania y Ecuador.
Pero el
de Messi no será el único regreso; también volverá a decir presente Sergio
Agüero, que en lo que va del ciclo del entrenador sólo había sido llamado a la
Copa América. De hecho, el propio Scaloni lo anticipó en octubre, cuando
justificó la ausencia del Kun por una molestia física: "Venía arrastrando
un problema en la planta y no estaba entrenando al cien por ciento en su club,
por eso decidimos que se quede. Seguro en la próxima fecha FIFA estén él y
Messi".
Además,
retornará el arquero Esteban Andrada y será convocado el defensor Walter Kannemann,
tras las respectivas eliminaciones de Boca y Gremio de la Copa Libertadores.
Otro probable regreso será el de Giovanni Lo Celso, quien ya se recuperó de una
lesión en la cadera.
¿Y Ángel Di María y Mauro Icardi? Aunque ambos vienen mostrando un muy
buen nivel en PSG, con goles, asistencias y destacadas actuaciones, seguirían
estando fuera de la consideración del entrenador argentino.
Por
otra parte, tampoco serán citados Franco Armani, Gonzalo Montiel, Lucas
Martínez Quarta y Exequiel Palacios, ya que River disputará el 14/11 la
semifinal de Copa Argentina -frente a Estudiantes de Caseros- y el 23/11 la
final de la Copa Libertadores contra Flamengo.
