Ruggeri Warns Garnacho to 'Come Down to Earth' as Argentina Omission Continues

Ruggeri's warning underscores Scaloni's form-based stance on his national-team absence.

Overview

  • Argentina great Oscar Ruggeri urged Alejandro Garnacho to tone down perceived arrogance, saying his attitude is costing him national-team opportunities.
  • Lionel Scaloni has not selected Garnacho since November 2024, explaining that competition for places and the winger’s form drove the decision.
  • Garnacho joined Chelsea from Manchester United in a reported £40 million summer move after a fallout with Ruben Amorim that included being placed in a ‘bomb squad.’
  • The 21-year-old has had limited minutes at Chelsea under Enzo Maresca but registered his first goal for the club in his seventh appearance.
  • Maresca said Garnacho is being managed to improve his fitness and praised his daily work after resting him for Chelsea’s midweek Carabao Cup win.
