The Argentina national team is preparing for the match against Egypt with limited rest after the grueling win over Cape Verde. After the exhausting 3-2 win over Cape Verde in extra time, Lionel Scaloni's team will only have two training sessions before Tuesday's match against Egypt.
What happened in the match against Cape Verde?
On Tuesday in Atlanta, Scaloni's team will take to the field just three and a half days after playing 120 minutes in the heat of Miami.
How are the players doing?
The main concern for the technical staff is to recover the players who were most physically exerted. Facundo Medina left the field with just a few minutes to go in regular time due to a severe cramp.
What's next after the match against Egypt?
With only two training sessions before traveling to Atlanta, Scaloni prioritizes physical recovery. At this stage of the World Cup, the challenge is not only to find the best footballing performance but also to manage the effort that is starting to take its toll on the players' legs.
