Scaloni calls up Molina, Roma deny his departure

Nahuel Molina has earned a call-up to Scaloni’s Argentina squad after impressing with Gasperini’s Roma in Serie A. The right-back’s experience with the Albiceleste didn’t end happily after the World Cup. It’s worth remembering that he initially received seven and then four match suspensions following an appeal by the Argentine Federation. Scaloni had hoped to have Molina fit for Argentina vs. Costa Rica, once they faced Uruguay, but according to TuttoMercatoWeb.com , the call-up came too late, and Roma will not let him leave. The Argentina call-up arrives after the deadline, and Roma has informed Nahuel Molina of their decision. The Giallorossi right-back will miss the match against Costa Rica, having been suspended for the Argentina-Uruguay match scheduled for midnight (Italian time) on Saturday, November 14th at “La Bombonera” in Buenos Aires. The player fully respects the club’s decision not to include him in the November 17th friendly against Costa Rica and will be able to fully prepare for Roma’s upcoming league match away to Parma on Saturday, November 21st at 6:00 PM.
