However, the 'Flea' received bad news before the game, since he will not be able to count on one of his main partners from the start. It's about Angel Di Maria.

The 'Noodle' has complicated his appearance as a starter against Australia, due to the muscular overload that he suffered in the duel against Poland, as confirmed by the journalist Gastón Edul.

The importance of Ángel Di María in the National Team:

It is enough to go back to the final of the Copa América 2021, when the 'Noodle' scored the goal that gave Argentina the title at the Maracana, beating Brazil by the slightest difference. In the 2022 Finalissima he was also essential for Lionel Scaloni and the group to add their second trophy in a year. During the World Cup in Qatar, he was decisive against Mexico, assisting Messi in the first goal, and against Poland he was a nightmare for European defenders.
