“Dibu” Martínez will not save against Uruguay: Gerónimo Rulli will start and will wear the captain's belt

Emiliano Martínez will not be there from the start in the match between Argentina and Uruguay, corresponding to the first match of the international window in November. Despite his efforts to recover in time, the coaching staff led by Lionel Scaloni decided not to risk it and give him rest

.

The archer suffered a significant jaw injury that required surgical intervention. Although he tried to accelerate his recovery to be available, the National Team believes that including him in the starting team could represent an unnecessary risk

.

In this way, the decision was to bet on Gerónimo Rulli, who will be responsible for defending the Argentine goal and, in addition, will be the captain of the team in the face of the numerous absences presented by the squad.

Gerónimo Rulli's chance in the Argentine National Team The

title represents an important possibility for Rulli, who is having a good present in Manchester City, although in his team he is in second place in the consideration of Enzo Maresca

, behind Gianluigi Donnarumma.

In the Argentine national team, Martínez continues to be the main alternative for the position. However, the match against Uruguay will allow Rulli to show himself in a highly demanding South American classic, regardless of the fact that it is a friendly match.

For his part, the “Dibu” will seek to complete his recovery without compromising his physical condition. Although his place as Scaloni's first choice does not seem to be in question, the goalkeeper had a special interest in participating in the match and preventing his usual substitute from occupying his

position.
