A day before the 18 names for Tokyo 2020 are defined, Fernando Batista and his coaching staff reported the confirmed departure of Lucas Alario from the team, from a new muscle ailment that affects the attacker, who missed the Copa America due to physical issues. In this case, in the spocial networks it was reported that the Bayer Leverkusen player is going through a “grade 2 muscle injury in the right psoas and distension of the right minor adductor”, which is why he is disaffected and in this way one of the great figures of the team is lost.

An injury to the thigh tendon of the right leg was the first to arise in the “Pipe” and from this it is presented as the first confirmed loss. Now, the coaching staff will have to remove six more players from the shortlist for the final roster. Batista has until tomorrow to define those summoned and expects a nod from River Plate to quote Julian Alvarez, who is currently with the senior team and could continue to be linked to the team. Still, santos borré’s possible departure before the Copa Libertadores would not be encouraging. For its part, the Argentine team continues to work towards its presence at the Olympic Games, where it will debut on Thursday, July 22 against Australia in Sapporo; then play on Sunday 25 against Egypt, in the same venue; and will close the first phase on Thursday 27, against Spain, in Saitama.Los 24 summoned from Argentina for the Olympic Games (travel 18)
