Juan Foyth suffered a serious shoulder injury that cut his season in half and left him with no options to be considered.
Alejandro Gómez was no longer part of the calls last year and at the end of 2023 the sanction for doping came out that has him out of the courts.
The last name is Thiago Almada and It has an asterisk, since it was left out of this list but He will be the leader of the team that will go to the Olympic Games with Mascherano’s team.
