A question about Arturo vidal and Gary Medel left dislocated Lionel Scaloni at a press conference, after the friendly where Argentina beat Ecuador 1-0, last night, in the United States.
The coach of the Albiceleste was consulted about the absences of Vidal and Medel on the Chilean payroll and what this implies for the match that both teams will have in the group stage of the Copa América 2024.

In this regard, the trans-Andean coach was somewhat surprised by the situation of the two La Roja leaders. “Aren’t Vidal and Medel coming?”he responded initially.
Along the same lines, Lionel Scaloni did not want to draw conclusions before Ricardo Gareca gives his final list for the continental competition. “Well, let’s wait, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. “Don’t make me say things that aren’t true and then I’ll be stuck,” he added.
Finally, the Argentina coach valued the friendly played with Ecuador ahead of the Copa América. “Of course it helps to play against a rival like that, Ecuador has an important level, it is a good team and it makes things difficult for anyone. “We need to get together, compete, add minutes and feel that sensation of putting on the shirt again,” he concluded.
