Argentina facing a setback? Talented midfielder could miss the 2026 World Cup

Argentina are continuing their preparations for the 2026 World Cup and are set to begin their campaign very soon, but the latest update is far from encouraging.

Details: According to Diario AS, Argentine midfielder Nico Paz has suffered an injury, putting his participation in the tournament in serious doubt. The knee problem could prove to be more severe than initially expected.

We previously reported that Argentina’s coaching staff had officially contacted Aston Villa midfielder Emiliano Buendía, strongly advising him to postpone his summer holiday plans and remain in peak physical condition.

Meanwhile, Argentina will begin their World Cup journey in Group J, where they have been drawn alongside Algeria, Austria, and Jordan.

Reminder: Argentina’s captain and star player is set to miss the national team’s upcoming match, and it has now been revealed whether he will be available for the opening game of the World Cup.
