The number 23
The coach of the Argentine national team, Jorge Sampaoli, called this morning for the replacement of midfielder, Manuel Lanzini, who suffered a torn ACL a few days ago, which prevented him from playing in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The chosen and last Argentine player to arrive in Russian soil will be Enzo Pérez, player of River Plate.

Although in Argentina, many believed that the replacement would be the Sevilla player, Ever Banega, the 'little man' surprised more than one with the morning call. It is worth mentioning that Banega is still experiencing some pain in his left calf, so the Argentine coach opted for another decision.
