Why Garna has not played at Copa America so far

Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni has explained why Manchester United livewire Alejandro Garnacho is yet to feature in this summer's Copa America tournament so far.

Our 19-year-old Academy graduate was an unused substitute for both of Argentina's wins over Canada and Chile, which secured their qualification to the competition's knockout stages. Lisandro Martinez started both victories and helped to keep invaluable clean sheets.

Breaking into the starting XI of the reigning world champions is not an easy task, of course, and especially for a young forward learning from the likes of Julian Alvarez, Angel Di Maria, Lautaro Martinez and Lionel Messi.
