However, dismissing all fears, this Argentinian midfielder said that he is fine. Posting a photo of himself training on Instagram, the Argentine midfielder reassured fans, 'Everything is fine. Making final preparations for a new final. Come on Argentina, let's move forward together.'

Di Paul's assurance has given relief to the Argentine fans, but there is still concern in the Argentine camp. Because, the responsibility of keeping Argentina's midfield dynamic rests on Di Paul's shoulders.

In the current World Cup, among the footballers of the Argentine team, De Paul has run the most 44.08 kilometers. Di Paul is one of the four footballers who have played the most time in the Argentina jersey at the World Cup in Qatar. If he is not fully fit against the Dutch, the question remains whether he will be able to play as dynamic football on the field or not.

The Paul played great against Australia

But he played his best match against Australia in the last sixteen. Finding his best rhythm If De Paul can't be in the starting XI against the Netherlands, how can Lionel Scaloni form the midfield?

Although Di Paul and Leandro Pardes do not play in the same position, it is Pardes who can play in his place against the Netherlands. In that case, Enzo Fernandez, who played in the central midfield against Australia, will have to leave his place.

Pardes can play as a central midfielder. Joining them will be Alexis McAllister to complete the midfield. However, Scaloni will not want to think so much about the Dutch test. He will want to arrange the starting eleven with Di Paul.
