Argentina is one of the main favorites to win the Qatar World Cup 2022 because they are the current champion of America, they have been undefeated for more than two years and they are playing very good soccer. Those led by Lionel Scaloni have many variants to face the competition, but they are close to confirming a significant loss: Giovani Lo Celso.
The Villarreal midfielder suffered an injury a few days ago that has him in doubt for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, which has become a real problem for Scaloni because he will lose one of his main stars in midfield . But, in recent times, it has been confirmed who will be Lo Celso’s replacement in the starting team for the first matches of the group stage, where they will face Saudi Arabia, Poland and Mexico. We are talking about Enzo Fernandez.
The one chosen by Scaloni to replace Lo Celso in Qatar 2022
The Argentine midfielder is experiencing a very positive moment in European football with Benfica and has the conditions to occupy different roles in the midfield area. Despite playing in the double pivot in Portuguese football, he shone in River Plate as an inside player with much more arrival in shooting zones.
Enzo Fernández does not have the individual quality of Lo Celso, but his current performance is superior to the rest of the Argentine midfielders at the moment and he can end up exploding in Qatar 2022. Other names that appear on the list are Papu Gómez, Alexis Mac Allister and Thiago Almada.
