A fractured elbow suffered in the semifinals against the United States means the Argentina forward will not take part in the 2016 Copa America Centenario final.
Ezequiel Lavezzi will miss the Copa America Centenario final after it was confirmed he suffered an elbow fracture in Argentina's semifinal win over the United States on Tuesday.
Lavezzi - who scored the game's opener inside four minutes - was forced off in the second half of their 4-0 win against the USA after landing awkwardly when he tumbled over an advertising board in Houston.
The Hebei China Fortune forward leapt up for a header but was too close to the hoardings, appearing to land badly on his neck.
