The Argentine national team has confirmed that defender Leonardo Balerdi will miss their upcoming 2026 World Cup preparatory matches. Balerdi was initially called up to face Mauritania on March 27th and Zambia on March 31st but has now been ruled out.
This news adds to a challenging period for the Olympique Marseille defender, following OM’s recent defeat to Lille this past Sunday, continuing what has been a tough spell for the player.
