The Chilean team completed its first training session in New Jersey, where on Tuesday they will face Argentina at Metlife Stadium without midfielder Diego Valdéswho will be absent for the match on the second day of group A of the Copa América.
Valdés did not play the second half of the match against Peru after feeling discomfort in the soleus of his left leg. This Sunday morning he carried out new medical tests and, in the absence of official confirmation, the América midfielder will not be able to play against Lionel Scaloni’s team.
It is an important loss in the scheme of Ricardo Gareca, La Roja coach, who against Peru chose to bring in the young Darío Osorio, who did not have a good presentation. The criticism received after the game for this reason led him to close his Instagram account.
Two days before the game, Chile trained in the afternoon at Yurcak Field, the soccer field of Rutgers University, about 80 kilometers from New Jersey, where fifty fans once again came to cheer on their team.
