Jorge Sampaoli

suffered his first major setback for Russia 2018 in the Argentina national team, after Sergio Romero suffered a knee injury that would keep him out of the World Cup. However, the goalkeeper's wife clarified the situation and pointed out that Sampaoli's actions were not correct, as 'Chiquito' was going to be back playing within 15 days.

Now, according to the Argentine TV program 'Infiltrados', Sergio Romero knew he was going to be able to play in Russia 2018 and called Jorge Sampaoli crying, asking him not to leave him out of the World Cup, something that finally did not happen.

According to Pablo Carrozza, this is what happened: "'Sergio Romero called Sampaoli crying and said please: 'I will have surgery tomorrow, I already talked to the doctors, wait for me like you did for 'Kun', 'Gabi' and Lucas'. Crying, 'Chiquito' Romero called him and distraught. Nervous breakdown, tears, he was having a really tough time", said the Argentine journalist in the program.

The truth is that his replacement now is Nahuel Guzmán, who was called as an emergency and it is Franco Armani who would take his place in the starting eleven.
