Argentina’s preparations for its first 2026 World Cup match have taken an unexpected turn, with Marcos Senesi becoming a central figure in a late squad reshuffle just days before Lionel Messi and the reigning world champion begin their title defense. Argentina’s preparations for its first 2026 World Cup match have taken an unexpected turn, with Marcos Senesi becoming a central figure in a late squad reshuffle just days before Lionel Messi and the reigning world champion begin their title defense. What initially appeared to be a routine training camp quickly evolved into a significant selection dilemma for coach Lionel Scaloni. The South American giant had been finalizing its plans ahead of the tournament opener when an injury setback forced the coaching staff into action. As a result, one player’s World Cup dream came to an abrupt end while another received an unexpected opportunity to join the squad at the last moment. The major setback involved Marseille defender Leonardo Balerdi, who suffered a muscle injury during Argentina’s training camp in Texas. The center-back had been dealing with muscular discomfort in recent weeks before aggravating the problem during preparations. “Defender Leonardo Balerdi suffered a muscle injury in the soleus of his right leg and will not be part of the squad that will compete at the World Cup,” the Argentine Football Association (AFA) confirmed in an official statement. The injury was severe enough to rule him out of the entire group stage, with reports suggesting a recovery period of around three weeks. Given the timing and the uncertainty surrounding his availability later in the competition, Scaloni and his staff decided they could not afford to take any risks. Balerdi picked up a muscle injury Balerdi had gradually established himself as an important member of Argentina’s defensive rotation. The former Boca Juniors academy product arrived in North America hoping to contribute to another World Cup campaign, but fate had different plans. Scaloni moves quickly to find a replacement FIFA regulations allow participating nations to replace injured players before their opening match if the injury is officially verified. That rule gave Argentina a narrow window to adjust its final roster. Attention immediately turned to the preliminary 55-man list submitted earlier in the year. Several names were considered, including Lucas Martinez Quarta, German Pezzella, Zaid Romero, Lautaro Di Lollo, and Marcos Senesi. As speculation intensified, one candidate quickly emerged as the leading option. Senesi, who had narrowly missed the original squad despite enjoying another strong season at club level, suddenly found himself back in contention. The coaching staff evaluated the available alternatives and ultimately decided that Senesi offered the best combination of experience, form, and familiarity with the national team setup. Senesi receives the call Argentina has now officially confirmed that Marcos Senesi will replace Leonardo Balerdi in the final 26-man World Cup squad. The defender arrives with valuable international experience and is already familiar with Scaloni’s tactical system.

His inclusion also strengthens a defensive unit that already features established names such as Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez, Nicolas Otamendi, and Facundo Medina. Reports surrounding Senesi have also generated attention outside the international stage. The defender is expected to begin a new chapter in his club career following his departure from Bournemouth to Tottenham, making this late World Cup call-up an especially significant moment in his professional journey.

Argentina’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup has reportedly been reduced by coach Lionel Scaloni as the final decision draws near. Argentina are entering the final stretch of their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where they will attempt to defend the title they won in Qatar four years ago. Lionel Scaloni must finalize the 26-man squad, and he has reportedly already made an initial decision. Last week, Argentina officially announced their preliminary 55-player squad, headlined by Lionel Messi and notable absences Angel Di Maria and Paulo Dybala. That number, however, must now be reduced, and reports indicate progress has already been made in that process. “The Argentina national team reserved approximately 35 players with notifications sent to European clubs. They are not going to bring everyone to Argentina,” TyC Sports journalist Gaston Edul, who specializes in covering Argentina, said Tuesday on his official X account. This means that, from the original 55-player list, several players will be cut even before the final roster is confirmed. The decision is tied to players based outside the country, as traveling to South America would be unreasonable if they are already no longer part of Scaloni’s plans.

They are Facundo Cambeses, Santiago Beltran, Agustin Giay, Gonzalo Montiel, Lucas Martinez Quarta, German Pezzella, Lautaro Di Lollo, Marcos Acuña, Gabriel Rojas, Leandro Paredes, Anibal Moreno, Milton Delgado, Tomas Andrada and Jose Lopez. When must Argentina announce their final World Cup squad? While some national teams such as France, Portugal and Brazil have already announced their final 26-player squads for the World Cup, FIFA regulations allow teams to delay that decision for a few more days, with the deadline set for June 1. However, reports indicate that Lionel Scaloni will not wait until the final day to announce the cuts. “The national team coaching staff are already in the country and the idea is to make the decision on the final World Cup squad this week,” Gaston Edul added on X. Argentina players dealing with injury concerns One of the main reasons Lionel Scaloni has likely not yet announced the final World Cup roster — and has instead only reduced the list to 35 players — is that several players are dealing with fitness issues, with their recovery being closely monitored. Cristian Romero has been ruled out for the remainder of Tottenham’s season, although he is expected to be fit for Argentina’s opening match against Algeria on June 16. Gonzalo Montiel and Nahuel Molina are in similar situations, while Nicolas Gonzalez is expected to make a full recovery soon from a muscle injury.
