About Alejandro Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho is in Argentina's preliminary squad for the 2026 World Cup, named by Lionel Scaloni in the 55-man list submitted in May 2026. The Chelsea winger is 21 at kick-off, switched from Spain's youth ranks to Argentina at under-20 level in 2022, debuted for the senior team in June 2023, and was part of the squad that won the 2024 Copa América.

Playing Style
Garnacho is an energetic winger — speed, dribbling, the ability to create chances and arrive in the box. He has been deployed on either flank at club level, and his style has been heavily influenced by former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he idolises.
His move to Chelsea in 2025, after leaving Manchester United, gives him a senior-club platform alongside the Argentina pathway. In Scaloni's 4-3-3 his eight caps (as of 15 November 2024) and a place in the 2024 Copa América-winning squad sit on the preliminary squad sheet among the younger wide options.

World Cup History
Garnacho is set to play his first senior World Cup if he remains in Scaloni's final 26 at kick-off, after Argentina qualified by winning the CONMEBOL round-robin on 25 March 2025. His international career to date is measured by eight caps (as of 15 November 2024), a place in the squad that won the 2024 Copa América, and the 2026 qualifying run rather than by previous senior World Cup minutes.
He switched from Spain to Argentina at under-20 level in 2022 and debuted at senior level in June 2023. He brings eight caps and no senior international goals into the preliminary picture as of 15 November 2024; Group J opens against Algeria on 16 June.
