Leandro Paredes and Cristian Romero have reportedly received a positive injury update as both Argentina stars will be fit to face England in the 2026 World Cup semifinals. Cristian Romero and Leandro Paredes both left the field during Argentina‘s thrilling win over Switzerland with physical concerns, setting off alarm bells ahead of the semifinal. However, reports now indicate that both players will be fit to face England in the 2026 World Cup semifinal. Romero had already been managing a recurring issue with his right knee earlier in the tournament, but recovered to start against Cape Verde and play through extra time against Egypt. Against Switzerland, however, he was forced off at halftime of extra time, with cameras catching him in visible discomfort on the turf. Paredes faced a similar situation, earning his place in Argentina‘s starting lineup before being seen limping in the second half of extra time following a defensive clearance. He signaled to the bench to be replaced, exiting in the 110th minute for forward Jose Manuel Lopez, who immediately made an impact by assisting Julian Alvarez’s decisive 2-1 goal. According to TyC Sports journalist and Argentina insider Gaston Edul, both Romero and Paredes will be available for Wednesday’s World Cup semifinal against England. Both players came off with cramps rather than structural injuries, and the minor nature of the discomfort means neither is expected to miss training ahead of the match. Lautaro Martinez #22 of Argentina celebrates with Leandro Paredes #5 after scoring. Lionel Messi also raised concern Beyond the two substitutions, cameras also picked up a cut around Lionel Messi’s eye, sustained from a challenge by Granit Xhaka in the second half and requiring medical attention on the sideline. Despite the pain, Messi played the full 120 minutes and was spotted in the mixed zone afterward with his vision partially affected by the swelling. The cut has since been treated and is not expected to pose any concern ahead of the England game. Paredes on Switzerland’s red card Paredes was also at the center of one of the match’s most controversial moments, when referee Joao Pinheiro initially booked the wrong player before correcting himself and sending off the Swiss player who was already on a yellow card after Breel Embolo appeared to simulate a foul. For Paredes, the call was straightforward. Speaking to reporters in the mixed zone, Paredes was direct when asked about the incident: “I don’t see where the controversy is. The rules are clear. The opposing player simulated, I didn’t touch him. The decision was correctly made.”
Already qualified to the next round, Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni is planning several changes in Lionel Messi's squad for the last World Cup group stage game against Jordan. Following Lionel Messi‘s brace against Austria, Argentina has already secured its ticket to the Round of 32 in the 2026 World Cup with one group game left to spare. Set to face Jordan for Matchday 3, head coach Lionel Scaloni will be planning changes to the Albiceleste lineup for their final match of the group stage. The 2-0 win against Austria on Monday already punched Argentina‘s ticket to the next round, while Algeria’s subsequent 2-1 victory over Jordan locked up first place in Group J for Messi’s side. With the top spot secured, the upcoming match against the debuting Asian nation gives coach Scaloni a perfect opportunity to rotate his squad. During the press conference after the Austria match, Scaloni addressed how the early qualification impacts his tactical plans moving forward: “It doesn’t change anything for us. We all would have preferred to win both matches. Now we will analyze. There is still one left to be played between Jordan and Algeria. We will see the result. The idea is to give the majority (of the players) the chance to play, which they deserve. As long as the match allows for it, we will do so.“ According to TyC Sports journalist and team insider Gaston Edul, the remaining members of the 26-man roster who did not feature in the opening two games are expected to get playing time in the final game of the group stage against Jordan. Argentina’s substitutions during the game against Austria. Scaloni to rest starters and manage workloads The one forced change for Argentina involves defender Cristian Romero, who was substituted against Austria after feeling discomfort in his recently sprained right knee. Veteran Nicolas Otamendi replaced him in the 57th minute and is set to start against Jordan while the coaching staff waits for the Tottenham center-back to recover for the Round of 32. Other key names expected to feature are Nicolas Tagliafico and Julian Alvarez. Both players have seen limited action in the tournament due to recent physical issues, but they are back to full fitness and will test their form against Jordan. According to Edul, several depth players who haven’t logged any World Cup minutes yet will also get an opportunity. Marcos Senesi is expected to rotate into the backline, while Exequiel Palacios, Valentin Barco, and Giovani Lo Celso could anchor the midfield, with forward Jose Manuel Lopez potentially making his tournament debut. Will Messi play against Jordan? With qualification in the bag, Scaloni’s primary goal is to avoid unnecessary risks against Jordan, who sits at No. 72 in the FIFA rankings after their loss to Algeria. Despite the match being a dead rubber for Argentina, Lionel Messi could still make an appearance in what will be his first match since turning 39. TNT Sports journalist Maximiliano Grillo reports that Messi fully intends to play against Jordan this coming Saturday. The Argentine captain has always made it clear that he hates sitting out, and a few key factors are pushing him toward the starting lineup. Lionel Messi #10 of Argentina celebrating. First, this is Messi’s final World Cup, and coming off a blazing start with five goals in two matches, he wants to keep his offensive rhythm going. Additionally, there is an 11-day gap between the Austria match and the Round of 32 fixture, meaning Scaloni might start his captain simply to keep him sharp and avoid a long layoff without competitive minutes.
Argentina is facing Iceland as their last friendly prior to the beginning of the 2026 World Cup, but Lionel Messi was left on the subs bench once again. Argentina faces Iceland on Tuesday, June 10, in the Albiceleste‘s final pre-tournament tune-up at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama. Fans hoping to see Lionel Messi in the starting lineup will have to wait, as the legendary forward has once again been named among the substitutes. Head coach Lionel Scaloni made the decision to hold Messi back from the start as a precautionary measure, not because of any remaining physical issue, but to avoid any unnecessary risk with the World Cup opener just one week away. Despite the conservative approach, Scaloni confirmed that Messi will see action off the bench. At Monday’s press conference, Scaloni addressed the situation directly. “He is going to play; what I don’t know is how many minutes. I still have to speak with him, we still have today’s training session. We will see how many minutes to avoid taking any kind of risk, and we will decide then. But in principle, yes, he will get minutes,” Scaloni said. Messi had also been kept on the bench for the Honduras friendly on June 6, when he was not yet fully recovered from the muscular fatigue that had sidelined him late in the MLS season. With Argentina’s World Cup debut against Algeria set for June 16, the priority is ensuring the captain arrives at that game at full capacity. Lionel Messi looks on prior to the international friendly match between Argentina and Honduras. Scaloni betting on youth With Messi held back, Scaloni has used the Iceland game as an opportunity to rotate the lineup and give younger players a meaningful audition, particularly in the midfield and attacking positions. Giovani Lo Celso, Exequiel Palacios and Valentin Barco are set to cover the midfield, with Giuliano Simeone expected to operate on one of the flanks. In the forward positions, with Julian Alvarez still unavailable and both Lautaro Martinez and Messi waiting on the bench, Scaloni has placed his trust in two of the squad’s youngest attacking options. Nico Paz will operate in a creative role similar to the one typically occupied by Messi, behind central striker Jose Manuel Lopez, who is set for his fifth Argentina appearance in an attacking combination that has not been seen before. Scaloni has made clear that Tuesday’s match will serve as the final audition before the official 26-man World Cup roster is confirmed, making it a decisive opportunity for those still on the fringes of the squad. Leonardo Balerdi’s replacement has yet to be officially announced, though Guido Rodríguez is the frontrunner for that spot, while the fitness of several other players continues to keep the door open for last-minute changes.
