It was hours of much analysis for the coaching staff of the Argentine National Team led by Lionel Scaloni that passed since the bitter draw against Colombia in Bogotá and this Thursday, the deadline to deliver the final list of 28 names to play the Copa América that will be played. in Brazil. All the teams have made their chosen ones official, but the albiceleste is the only one that is still silent. It is that they are still sharpening the pencil at the AFA property in Ezeiza before handing over the list to Conmebol (there is time until 19). And, far from what was thought, some names that would be left out would surprise.
According to the national team's bunker, the particular case of Franco Armani and his PCR, which continues to test positive despite having had the coronavirus almost a month ago and is no longer contagious, is what delays everything.
Moreover, there is the possibility that the AFA will wait until this Friday to officially publish its summoned.
It is that beyond the fact that the South American Football Confederation has raised its thumb so that it can play, in the Argentine delegation they want certainty that they will not have a headache in some of the airports that they have to transit before the comings and goings to play each party.
That is why they are waiting for the Brazilian Migrations to confirm in turn what Conmebol has already warned.
Scaloni's intention is also to take the four archers just in case: in addition to Armani there are Emiliano Martínez, Agustín Marchesín and Juan Musso.
This would generate that there is one more outfield player who must get off.
And in this sense, the coach would kick the board leaving out players who in their cycle were a fixed in the citations and always added minutes.
Juan Foyth and Lucas Ocampos would be two of the five who would not pass the final filter
.
José Luis Palomino, Emiliano Buendía and Lucas Alario (recovering from an injury), would be the others excluded from the 33 that made up the initial roster for the two qualifying matches in June.
