Argentina arrived at Qatar 2022 with high aspirations. Not only did they come from a remarkable campaign in the South American qualifiers or a Copa America success, but they also had a star-studded squad headlined by Lionel Messi, Paulo Dybala, among others.

However, it’s been four games at the FIFA World Cup for La Albiceleste and fans have yet to see the AS Roma superstar in action. Manager Lionel Scaloni has so far chosen many other names ahead of Dybala.

Though he had missed eight games due to a hamstring injury before the World Cup, Dybala recovered on time for the tournament. Therefore, his absence in the last few games took many by surprise.
