Juan Musso, the 31-year-old goalkeeper, faced a heartbreaking exclusion from the Qatar 2022 World Cup due to a facial injury that sidelined him only 91 days before Argentina's opener against Saudi Arabia. As the backup to Emiliano Martínez, Musso was almost guaranteed a spot on the roster, making his injury all the more disappointing for him and his supporters.

Currently, Musso is determined to make a comeback and earn a place in the Argentine squad ahead of significant competitions, including the Finalissima against Spain on March 27 and the 2026 World Cup. Following an outstanding performance during Atletico Madrid's run to the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona at Camp Nou, he aims to impress national team manager Lionel Scaloni, who has yet to decide on the third goalkeeper for the upcoming tournaments.

Musso's potential inclusion is also highlighted by his role as the alternative to Jan Oblak in Atletico Madrid, where he has been steadily gaining recognition as a reliable goalkeeper. His recovery and recent form have intensified the competition among goalkeepers vying for the national team, adding both pressure and excitement as he strives for redemption and a chance to represent Argentina on the global stage once again.
