Alejandro Garnacho
dreamed of having the key to an epic victory for
Manchester United
, who played with one less man against
Carlos Alcaraz
's
Southampton
, on date 27 of the Premier League.
But for the Argentine youth it ended up being a nightmare: they kicked him inside the area -which was not even checked in the VAR- and he had to ask for the change a few minutes after entering.
While waiting for the club's medical report, the injury could complicate his presence with the Argentine National Team in ten days, when he plays his first friendlies as world champion.
79 minutes went by, Garnacho, as always, was focused on the left wing to face as a winger.
He received the ball and planted himself in the 1v1 against Kyle Walker-Peters, he got into the area, threw it long and the rival swept to take it out for the corner, but he also hooked his right leg.
The one born in Spain but who chose to play for Argentina because of his mother's nationality was left with many gestures of pain and had to be assisted.
He tried to get back on the field, but a couple of minutes later he had to leave the field in Fred's place, with tears in his eyes.
The official medical part of United - which ended up drawing 0-0 with the presence of Lisandro Martínez
, reprimanded - is awaited
to find out if he can be available for the friendlies against Panama and Curaçao, which the Argentine National Team will play in Buenos Aires and Santiago del Estero, between March 23 and 28 next.
