Romero's injury - A blessing in disguise for Willy

Manchester United's number 2 and Argentina's number 1, Sergio Romero has picked up an injury and it mostly seems that he would miss the ticket to Russia this year.

That being said, it seems more and more likely that Chelsea's number 2, Caballero is set to be in the starting 11, who has only played twice for Argentina. He might have never been regarded as a world class keeper, but has shown time and again that he can be a counted upon.

A decent shot-stopper and very good in penalties, Argentina could benefit from him.
