E. Perez will take M. Lanzini's place in the Argentine national team

One unsuccessful training session cost "West Ham" defender Manuel Lanzini his dream - he will miss the 2018 World Cup.

It has already been reported that during Friday's training session M. Lanzini tore his knee ligaments and dropped out of the lineup for an indefinite period.

The Argentine national team, which arrived in Russia yesterday, was forced to quickly replace a team member. The lucky ticket went to 32-year-old "River Plate" defender Enzo Perez.

This surprised the football community a bit, as the promising "Zenit" defender Leandro Paredes remained on the national team's bench.

Argentina will start their journey in the World Cup on June 16 with a match against Iceland.
