Will be available for WC opener
Gonzalez (strain) will be available for the World Cup opener against Algeria on Tuesday, according to TyC Sports.
Analysis: Gonzalez, who has been tested at left-back at times during the pre-tournament friendlies, was a doubt for the WC debut but has been training in full in recent days. It remains to be seen whether he'll start, and which role he'll fill, but at the very least, he'll be an option off the bench for manager Lionel Scaloni. Gonzalez scored five goals in 24 league appearances with Atletico Madrid in the 2025/26 campaign.
Back in training
Gonzalez (strain) is back in full training ahead of the World Cup opener against Algeria, Gaston Edul reports.
Analysis: The midfielder was a doubt for the opener, but it appears he's recovering well, as he and a large part of the injured Argentinian team were back in training Saturday. It's a great sign for the team to recover so many strong options, and should give Argentina a nearly full squad to choose from to open the group stage.
