Touched this Saturday evening against Spain in Madrid during the second half, the medical examinations passed by Santiago Grondona are categorical. The Argentinian international (15 caps) suffers from a ruptured cruciate ligament in his left knee. He must also withdraw from the World Cup on September 8, a blow for the Pumas who have already lost their pillar Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro after a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Coach Michael Cheika has not yet announced who will replace the Section Paloise player in his group for the World Cup, the final list of which should be communicated on Monday.
