Facundo Cambeses Earns First Argentina Call-Up, Heads to U.S. for October Friendlies

Picked on the back of strong Racing performances, the 27-year-old will be evaluated in camp before the Venezuela and Puerto Rico friendlies.

Overview

  • The Racing goalkeeper said he learned of the selection the day the list was published and immediately phoned his mother and girlfriend.
  • After his club match, he departed for the United States to join training with Lionel Scaloni’s squad.
  • He is available for the Oct. 10 friendly against Venezuela at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium and the Oct. 13 match versus Puerto Rico at Chicago’s Soldier Field.
  • Reports link the call-up to his recent run of form after winning the starting job at Racing following an initial spell as a backup.
