Overview
- The 21-year-old left Manchester United for Chelsea in a late-window move reported at around £40 million, billed as a fresh start after tensions at Old Trafford.
- His Chelsea stint has begun unevenly, with 331 minutes across seven appearances and a first goal arriving in a 2-1 home defeat to Sunderland.
- Garnacho has not been called up by Argentina since November 2024, keeping him out of recent squads during the World Cup cycle.
- Oscar Ruggeri said the winger is "no better than anyone else" and urged him to "come back down to earth," linking perceived arrogance to his omission.
- Coach Lionel Scaloni previously attributed the non-selection to form and competition for places, while Ruggeri maintained a change in demeanor could prompt a recall.
