Javier Mascherano has dismissed suggestions that Manchester United sensation Alejandro Garnacho was left out of Argentina’s World Cup squad because of an attitude problem.
Mascherano, the Liverpool and Barcelona legend who is now coach of the Argentine youth team, was behind Lionel Scaloni’s decision to bring the 18-year-old into his senior squad in March to prepare for the tournament.
But Garnacho didn’t make the 26-man cut - even when Scaloni had to make changes to his selection at the 11th hour due to injuries to Nico Gonzalez and Joaquin Correa.
