Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has admitted he is concerned his team’s travel plans could be affected by Hurricane Milton.

The Albiceleste are set to face Venezuela in a 2026 World Cup qualifier on Thursday, having chosen to train from Miami FC’s Fort Lauderdale training ground in Florida.

Plans to travel to Venezuela have been affected by the Category 5 hurricane currently making landfall on the Florida coast.

While Fort Lauderdale is not in the storm’s path, the surrounding area has been warned of possible flooding and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently declared a state of emergency for much of the state. The world champions

will travel to Venezuela on Wednesday, with Scaloni saying โปรโมชั่น ufabet “safety is a sensitive issue”. “

The game is important, but safety is much more important. When people talk about wind and hurricanes, it’s not that far away if the airports are open. “

When it’s like this, yeah, we’re worried and we’re waiting to see if it’s feasible to travel tomorrow. We’re not sure yet. We still have concerns,”

Scaloni initially asked for the trip on Tuesday, but that was rejected, and a Wednesday trip would give them just one day to prepare.

“(The trip) made things difficult for us. We arrived only one day before the game. We had to stop because they didn’t allow direct flights from America to Venezuela. “

This is not just about us. We were unfortunate with the situation (weather and travel), but the most important thing is the safety and well-being of the players and all of us.”
