The Argentina national team is facing new challenges ahead of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. Coach Lionel Scaloni has made adjustments following the injury of Alejandro Garnacho, who suffered a left knee injury. Garnacho joins Marcos Acuña, Paulo Dybala, and Nicolás González on the list of key absentees.
