Spurs new boy Senesi receives last-gasp World Cup call-up
Marcos Senesi signed for Tottenham earlier this week, and the defender is now heading to the World Cup.
Argentina have called up Tottenham's new signing Marcos Senesi to their World Cup squad.
Senesi, who only joined Spurs on a free transfer from Bournemouth on Wednesday, was called up on Thursday, just before kick-off in the tournament's opening match.
The defending world champions required a replacement for Leonardo Balerdi, who sustained an injury in training and has had to withdraw from the squad.
Senesi made 39 appearances across all competitions, the joint-most among Bournemouth's outfield players, while also completing more passes (1,839) than any other player for the Cherries.
The 29-year-old has made three appearances for his country since he debuted for Argentina in 2022.
Argentina take on Algeria in their Group J opener on Tuesday, before they face Austria and Jordan.
