Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni says he plans to call up Alejandro Garnacho to the national team squad for June’s internationals, all being well, after the teenager was ruled out of this month’s fixtures due to injury.
The attacker is set for a number of weeks on the sidelines after suffering ankle ligament damage in the goalless Premier League draw with Southampton. Garnacho’s participation in the current international break was immediately cast into doubt when he was seen leaving Old Trafford on crutches.
He has so far missed the 1-0 second-leg Europa League quarter-final win over Real Betis and Sunday’s 3-1 FA Cup victory over Fulham due to the setback. Garnacho had been called up to the senior Argentina squad for the second time in his career earlier this month, after receiving his first last March.
