Scaloni: I still test positive for COVID-19 and can't go to Chile to play in the World Cup

Live bar January 27 news On January 28, 08:15 Beijing time, South American World Preliminary Tournament, Argentina will play away against Chile, Scaloni said in an interview on January 26, local time in Argentina: I am still positive for the new crown test, can not go to Chile to participate in the World Preliminary Tournament.

About the situation in the Argentine team

Neither Aymar (a former Argentine star and now a member of the Coaching Staff of the Argentine National Team) nor I could be part of the delegation to Chile, because of close contact with infected people, Aimar has been in home isolation for a few days, and after I was quarantined for a few days, the results of the NEW CROWN test are still positive, and entering Chile requires a negative COVID-19 test. Samuel, Ayala and Placant will be members of the coaching staff to direct the match against Chile, and according to the latest news, Ariste tested positive last night, and he and Buendia, who are close contacts, cannot accompany the team to Chile.

Argentina did not call up Lionel Messi on this international match day

Obviously, we want Messi to come here, and I talked to Messi and he told me that COVID-19 affected him a lot. It's important to get Messi back and that's why I think the best thing to do is to keep him at his club, we have backup options to deal with messi's situation in his absence and now may be a good time for us to try other ways of playing.

About the World Preliminary Round with Chile

It's going to be a very tough game, Chile are a competitor who knows what they want, they're not getting the results they want right now (Chile are now 6th in the World Preliminaries South America zone) and they just want to win this game. Against such a tough opponent, I hope that the players who can play in Argentina will prove that they are up to the task.

Let's talk about your physical condition

I clarify, I feel good, my symptoms of the new crown have healed, but the virus test result is still positive, this is the problem, I have the conditions to be interviewed through the internet, but I am not able to enter Chile now.
