It has not been an easy week for the Argentine National Team, which this Thursday plays against Venezuela in Maturín. First he had problems getting to that city and now, a new weather problem could delay the start of the game.
According to the criteria of
The heavy rains that are still falling at this time in Maturín flooded the field of the Monumental stadium, where the match will be played, initially, starting at 4 in the afternoon, Colombia time.
Several collaborators in the logistics of the stage have had to enter the field armed with elements to evacuate the water, although the drainage of the stage has worked well.
For now, the Venezuelan Football Federation has not communicated any change in the schedule for the match.
Argentina’s problems getting to Maturín
Argentina already had complications due to climatic factors. The team concentrated in Miami and from there they planned to travel directly to Maturín to play the match.
However, the passage of Hurricane Milton through Florida forced the Argentine Football Association to change the team’s itinerary and thus, the National Team made a stopover in Barranquilla, from where, finally, they were able to travel to the venue of the match.
Argentina has two important casualties for this match, that of goalkeeper Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez and that of defender Cristian Romero, in both cases due to suspension. Dibu will have to pay for two games, so he will not be on Tuesday against Bolivia either. The Tottenham defender will be back that day.
