The green and white attention will be focused on Giovani’s participation Lo Celsus. The duel will begin at 1:00 a.m. Spanish time, and it seems that the green and white footballer will not be the starter, as he already spent the entire match on the bench in the albiceleste’s previous match during this break, against Paraguay.

The fact is that Lo Celso has not participated in the workouts in the team that will theoretically start against Peru, in the qualifying duel for the 2026 World Cup in which Argentina will defend its title, and if anything he will have minutes during the course of the match.

At Betis the concern centers on the precedent of Lo Celso’s injury in the previous league break with his national team and the fact that he has barely played half an hour in the final stretch of the match against Celta just before flying again with his national team after recovering from his muscle mishap.

Now Lo Celso is participating normally in his national team’s training sessions and Betis hopes that he can be back without any problem to play this Saturday’s duel against Valencia at Mestalla. The Argentine will be the last of the Betis internationals to return to Pellegrini’s orders given that this Wednesday he is expected to Rui Silva, Abde and Ricardo Rodríguez They may already be in the Luis del Sol sports city.

While Johnny Cardoso He returned early due to the injury he suffered in the clash with the United States against Jamaica and will be absent from the playing field for two to three weeks.
