Justly, Molinaone of the key men in Argentina by Lionel Scaloni, five days ago he retired injured in the match between Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla for La Liga.

The defender who emerged from Boca Juniors threw himself to the ground with about five minutes remaining in the match that Diego Simeone’s team won 2-0 on their visit to Sánchez Pijuán and was removed from the field by medical services. The images were cause for alarm for the Albiceleste that on November 22 will play against Saudi Arabia for date 1 of Group C of the World Cup.

Judging by the pictures, it was speculated with a muscle injury, since Molina took the left quadriceps. However, at a press conference, Cholo Simeone referred to what happened and He was calm: “It’s a cramp, nothing more. He left as a precaution and I hope that these days it will evolve for the better”.

These injuries to Juan Foyth and Nahuel Molina prevented him from being on the Argentine national team’s tour of the United States, where they faced Honduras and Jamaica, in friendly preparations for the World Cup in Qatar. There will be 26 soccer players mentioned by Lionel Scaloni who will go to the World Cup that will begin next month. Some of the alternatives in that position of the defense are Lucas Martínez Quarta (Fiorentina), Marcos Senesi (Bournemouth) and Nehuén Pérez (Udinese).
