Facundo Medina's last call-up for Argentina dates back to September 2023 and his last selection on June 19, 2023 during a friendly match against Indonesia. He then had three selections. Far from being really considered by Lionel Scaloni, Facundo, Medina quickly canceled his plans when the coach requested his services.
He took care of everything
Even though he did not participate in his team's match last night (1-2 defeat against Paraguay), the RC Lens defender was warmly thanked by Scaloni in front of the country's journalists. “We called him and he got his plane ticket instantly because he absolutely wanted to join us. It's something precious, something great. He wasn't on the list or even the pre-list, but he did everything himself. He went to talk to his coach, he paid for his ticket and he arrived this morning (Thursday November 14, Editor’s note), it’s something to be valued and it’s a very good message for the group. Be there! »
The Argentines will play one last match before joining their respective clubs. A new qualifying match is set for Wednesday, November 20 at 1 a.m. French time, against Peru.
