Emiliano Martínez has taken part in football training and is reportedly pain-free, according to Argentina’s team doctor. If that holds up, the goalkeeper is expected to wear the captain’s armband for the match against Uruguay.
The question is what happens if he is not fully fit. The report notes that several possible candidates could be handed the armband in that case, so the choice of a stand-in is still open.
For now, the update is encouraging for Argentina. Martínez’s ability to train without discomfort removes the most immediate doubt, though the coaching staff will need to confirm his condition before deciding on the captaincy.
