Coach Marcelo Bielsa has two major doubts for the first match of the semifinals of of Copa América, on the 20th, in Lima, against Colombia. ¿Will I be able to field my key players.¿
Saviola and D¿Alessandro suffered strong blows in the first phase matches and in the game against Peru, respectively. The Barcelona striker and author of three goals in the competition said: ¿I began to feel pain in the right thigh in the match against Mexico, and we chose not to take risks against Uruguay. Then, the pain increased a little and that¿s why I was on the bench against Peru.¿ Now, I feel a quick recovery and believe everything will be all right.¿
Germany¿s Wolfsburg midfielder stated that the injury to the back of his left thigh won¿t make him lose another match, no matter the cost. Against Peru, I left the pitch because I wasn¿t 100% well. It was great, because ¿Carlitos¿ came on and sealed the match. Therefore, I will do my best to fully recover to help take Argentina to another final.¿
Another change on the Argentinean squad for the fixture against Colombia will be the exit of captain Ayala, who will serve a ban for the red card received in the quarterfinals. He will be replaced by defender Javier Mascherano (Bielsa could choose Fecundo Quiroga), who will play alongside Gabriel Heinze and Coloccini.
