Injured Players in the Argentina Team

The midfield defender Roberto SENSINI's (6) injury is healing well: he is still following an exercise advised by physiotherapists Angel CASTRO and Hernan Arsenian. SENSINI was injured during the match against JAMAICA, 21 June.

The principal goalkeeper, Carlos ROA (1) and centre forward Hernan CRESPO (10) are both suffering from the same injury: a strained right thigh muscle, and are both following specific medical treatment.

Finally, the winger Ariel ORTEGA (10) still has a very painful right foot due to an injury to his fourth metatarsal. Nevertheless, it is hoped that all these players will have a speedy recovery and will be in a position to be selected by Daniel PASSARELLA, the national team coach, to play against the NETHERLANDS this Saturday 4 July at 16h30 in the Stade Vélodrome in MARSEILLE.

On a brighter note, the ARGENTINA players went out for dinner at "La Pause": a restaurant situated one hundred metres from the "Centre de Formation des Métiers du Sport", the delegation's headquarters in Etrat (near SAINT ETIENNE) after training yesterday afternoon.
