Argentina’s national team coach, Lionel Scaloni, has named Tottenham Hotspur’s Marcos Senesi as a replacement for injured defender Leonardo Balerdi in the final World Cup squad. Balerdi sustained an injury prompting the roster change. Senesi, a recent addition to Tottenham, will now join the Argentine team as they prepare for the tournament. The decision was announced following assessments of Balerdi’s condition, confirming he would be unable to participate. This substitution maintains the team’s defensive options ahead of the World Cup’s commencement. Scaloni aims to have a fully prepared squad despite the late alteration. The team is currently finalizing preparations for their opening match.
