Gonzalez injury scare for Argentina ahead of semi-final

Argentina have been dealt an injury scare ahead of their World Cup semi-final against England, with winger Nicolas Gonzalez's fitness causing concern for Lionel Scaloni's side.

Gonzalez suffered an ankle injury after coming on as a substitute in the quarter-final. Team doctors and physios have been closely monitoring his condition, and his participation in the semi-final remains uncertain.

During the team's first training session, Gonzalez did not fully participate with his teammates, working separately under medical supervision. However, he later joined Marcos Senesi and Giuliano Simeone for light practice, raising hopes that his semi-final appearance is not completely ruled out.

Argentina are scheduled to travel to Atlanta after their final practice session in Kansas on Monday. Whether Gonzalez will be available remains to be seen.
