After Christopher Nkunku, Argentina’s Joaquin Correa and Nico Gonzalez have been ruled out for the 2022 World Cup with an injury sustained while training with the national team. 

The decision has been confirmed in an official statement by the national team. The two players were not included in the initial 26-man shortlist, but the change has been made in the last 24 hours. Teams can make changes to their shortlist due to injuries up until the eve of the opening day, that is, 19 November. 

Argentina replace two injured players in their squad 

“After today’s training session, Nicolas Gonzalez suffered a muscle injury and will not be included in the World Cup squad. In his place, the national team staff has called up Angel Correa,” the AFA said in a statement.

“The player Joaquin Correa will also be removed from the World Cup squad due to injury. The replacement will be informed in the coming hours.” 

Angel Correa and Thiago Almada have been called up by Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni to replace the two injured players. 

But, this further goes on to show that a mid-season World Cup really was the worst possible idea, considering the number of training injuries that teams are having to deal with – and might also have to deal with during the competition.
