Juan Foyth Is Out of the Argentina National Team Call-up and Will Stay at His Club

An absence in defenses

The Argentine defender Juan Foyth, who was called up for the upcoming friendlies of the Argentine national team in Córdoba and Buenos Aires, did not respond to Lionel Scaloni's call and has resumed work with Villarreal, taking advantage of the break in the Spanish League.

Foyth, world champion with the Albiceleste in 2022, did not finally attend the training camp for the three friendlies that the national team will play against Bolivia, Burkina Faso, and Benin, the last of which will serve to pay tribute to Lionel Messi, who is bidding farewell to the national team.

The reason for his absence

Not being fully recovered from his muscle problems, the player decided to stay in Villarreal to continue his recovery and not participate in the call-up he was included in on September 15th.

The defender has been training since this Monday with the rest of his teammates, so if he maintains his progress, he could be available for the return of the league competition, with Villarreal's visit to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu on the eighth matchday of LaLiga EA Sports (Spanish First Division).

Foyth, who was unable to play in the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada with Argentina (runner-up after losing in the final to Spain), had been sidelined for nearly a month, and his return to collective training marks a step forward in his recovery. EFE
