Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea)
October 2025

Oscar Ruggeri warned Garnacho to “come back down to earth” if he hopes to rejoin Argentina’s national squad. The 20-year-old’s career has stalled since his £40m move to Chelsea, following disciplinary issues at Manchester United that led to exile from first-team training and a summer transfer exit. Ruggeri’s remarks echo concerns within the Argentine setup over Garnacho’s attitude and focus. Despite flashes of potential, limited minutes under Enzo Maresca and continued inconsistency have slowed progress. National team staff will monitor his response to public criticism and professionalism in training before reconsidering future call-ups.
