The Betic fan is here with open meats with Giovani Lo Celso again. He has returned to training again with Betis and, waiting to play some minutes again, depending on how he evolves in the coming days, on Sunday against Celta, he has been called up by Argentina, with whom he was injured in October, for two new qualifying matches for the next 2026 World Cup. All this, after not being available to Pellegrini in the last five games, against Osasuna, Copenhagen, Atlétco de Madrid, Gévora and Athletic Club, and he will not be available either tomorrow against Celje. So there are six games without one of the best players on the squad. Lo Celso was injured with Argentina in training prior to the world champion’s last match against Bolivia. And now he will have to go back to his team even without being one hundred percent. FIFA regulations are clear: every player named by his team has to join. Everyone knows that. But it is not normal that, without having played with his club, the footballer has to leave with his team in the middle of the last phase of recovery. The one from Rosario is exercising with the group, yes, but at a slower pace. “It’s on its own,” said Pellegrini. Therefore, what is fully recovered is not yet fully recovered. That is to say, you can have a medical discharge, but not a sports discharge. You no longer know what to think. If it is a matter of the FIFA regulations, in such hasty cases and with signed medical reports in hand, there must be some loophole. If it is the footballer who should raise his hand and say that he is not ready to play. Or if it’s also a thing, why not consider it, about Betis. Yes, not taking him out to train with the group so soon. Having waited a few more days. Contact between the green and white club’s doctors and the technicians and their namesakes in the AFA has been constant in recent days. So now it will be between Lo Celso himself, Scaloni and the doctors, who will decide how much he will play against Paraguay and Peru. We must not forget it. He was injured with Argentina, he has not yet appeared with who ultimately pays him, Betis (he may do so on Sunday against Celta before the Albiceleste’s call-up), and on Monday he will leave again with his team. There are already Beticos praying that he returns fit and can continue playing under Pellegrini until the Christmas break.
