Despite two wins during the international break, Argentina had numerous injury issues, with the right-back position being the most problematic.
First, Nahuel Molina suffered a muscular injury and was unable to play against Peru. As a result, Nottingham Forest fullback Gonzalo Montiel was handed the opportunity to start last night’s game.
However, the Tricky Trees’ player was hurt and had to leave the game in the first half. El Intra has finally shared some information about his position.
According to the outlet, Montiel felt some pain shortly after Argentina’s first goal and ‘quickly’ signalled to the bench that he needed to be substituted.
This occurred only 32 minutes into the game, forcing the national team to improvise a central defence on the right side.
Montiel sat back down on the bench, and’medical tests are pending,’ as it appears he’ll only have his exams when he returns to Nottingham Forest.
El Intra believes it’s merely a muscular condition, but only medical personnel can make a determination on the case.
Nottingham Forest will host Luton Town at the City Ground on Saturday.
