Missed out Players in Argentina Squad:

Only 26 slots available for the final world cup squad means a number of players had to be cut out from the primary squad or available options. The following stars missed out on Argentina’s final World Cup squad.

  • Juan Musso
  • Giovani Lo Celso
  • Agustín Marchesín
  • Agustín Rossi
  • Facundo Medina
  • Nehuén Pérez
  • Lucas Martínez Quarta
  • Marcos Senesi
  • Nicolás Domínguez
  • Lucas Ocampos
  • Maximiliano Meza
  • Giovanni Simeone
  • Emiliano Buendía
  • Lucas Alario
  • Alejandro Garnacho
  • Matías Soulé
  • Roberto Pereyra

Giovani Lo Celso will be the player who will be missed the most and was an unintentional cut-out from the squad. Celso had established himself as an integral part of the squad and would have started in the lineup. The Villarreal man was the only creative midfielder in the squad and had a seriously good connection on the field with Messi. But an unfortunate hamstring injury forced the star to be ruled out of the World Cup and Lionel Scaloni had to drop his crucial weapon. Angel Correa was another man in question but his case was a tactical one. However, the Albiceseleste boss picked Foyth as his very last call instead of the Atletico Madrid forward.

Argentine Players to Watch Out for in the Qatar World Cup:

The following players will be the players to watch out for or in other words the most crucial players for Argentina.

Emiliano Martinez:

Doesn’t matter who is your best player, your goalkeeper is always your main savior. One simply can’t win a world cup without a well-settled or in-form goal-stopper. Because the gloveman is the player who will ensure your clean sheet. And when a side keeps a clean sheet, it simply means that it can’t lose until the shoot-outs. Argentina was looking for a good keeper after the Sergio Romero era. The men in White and Sky Blues tried a number of options but nobody was clicking.

And then comes the savior Emi Martinez. The former Arsenal man is currently playing for Aston Villa. He was one of the main weapons that helped Argentina clinch Copa America in 2021. His triple save in the tie-breaker against Colombia helped Argentina reach the final. Then he also kept a clean sheet against Brazil as well performing like a wall. Argentina will once again look forward to him searching for their 3rd ever WC title.

Nicolas Otamendi:

The main man at the back for Scaloni. Otamendi is not only the most crucial defender in the squad but also the most experienced one. The Benfica captain has been in tremendous form since the last couple of seasons and especially this season. In his leadership, Benfica topped their UCL group ahead of PSG. The 34-year-old 6-feet-tall center half will be highly crucial if Scaloni’s men are to clinch the title in Qatar. He will also need support from the likes of C Romero and Lisandro Martinez.

Rodrigo De Paul:

He may not be a regular starter in Simone’s Atletico but he will be the most crucial midfielder for Argentina. The former Udinese star provided the match-winning assist against Brazil in the Copa America final. Argentina will be hoping for multiple solid performances from the 28-year-old midfield sensation. Apart from his playing abilities, those threatening body language when somebody fouls Messi will be also enjoyable for the Albiceleste fans.

Angel Di Maria:

The first-half muscle injury against Belgium in the 2014 quarterfinal game saw the winger miss the semifinal as well as the final. Many Argentine fans label it as the reason why they had to lose the title to Germany in the 2014 WC final. Di Maria then showed what he is capable of especially in the big matches by scoring the 2021 Copa America Final winning goal. No doubt he will be one of the most crucial players for Scaloni’s side in Qatar as well. And if he stays fit for all the games, the Pendulum might swing their way this time.

Leo Messi:

The name doesn’t actually require mentioning. The talisman for Argentina. He is the man for whom the whole world wants Argentina to win the World title in Qatar. Perhaps he is the man who deserves to win this WC more than anybody else. No doubt, Messi will be the key for Argentina and he has been in good form for PSG this season. Moreover, Messi’s recent performances in Argentina shirts have been more devastating for the opposition sides. And if the left-footed magician remains on song in Qatar then it will be a tough task for other sides to stop Argentina from clinching their 3rd ever World Cup title.
