Argentina add defender Marcos Senesi to their World Cup squad as a replacement for Leonardo Balerdi, according to reports from multiple outlets. Balerdi is ruled out of the tournament after sustaining a muscle injury. In response, the national team recalls Senesi to fill the vacancy left in the squad. The replacement is described as a call-up specifically tied to Balerdi’s inability to participate due to the injury. While the reports do not provide additional details on the severity of the muscle problem or the full timeline for Balerdi’s withdrawal, they agree that Argentina’s adjustment is made ahead of the World Cup and follows the injury confirmation. Both sources present Senesi’s inclusion as an administrative and roster update rather than a separate selection change. The move ensures Argentina retains a full complement of players for the tournament despite Balerdi’s injury.
