Argentina Coach Scaloni Suspended for One Match

Argentina's head coach Lionel Scaloni has been suspended for one match due to delays in returning to the pitch after halftime in their Copa America games against Canada and Chile. The team has already secured a spot in the knockout stages, so Scaloni will miss the game against Peru, with assistant coach Walter Samuel stepping in. Lionel Messi will also be absent due to muscle tightness and will be rested for the quarterfinals, with Alejandro Garnacho set to start in his place. Despite Scaloni and Messi's absences, Argentina expects to continue their strong performance in the tournament. Opposing teams and officials have criticized Argentina for gaining an unfair advantage through their delays, leading to CONMEBOL's disciplinary action.
