Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni is 'excited' to have Alejandro Garnacho at his disposal but urged against overusing the 18-year-old.
Manchester United star Garnacho made his national team debut on Thursday afternoon, coming off the bench in the 76th-minute as his side beat Australia 2-0. The world champions were two goals up by that point, thanks to Lionel Messi and German Pezzella.
Garnacho's first action in the blue and white of Argentina was to play the ball to Messi, the man he grew up idolising, but the teenager didn't get much chance to impress in a game that was already winding down in a hot and humid Beijing.
