Cleared and ready for World Cup
Gonzalez (muscular) has been confirmed fit and is ready to feature for Argentina at the World Cup, according to Hernan Castillo.
Analysis: Gonzalez had been sidelined since late April with a muscle tear but his full recovery puts him firmly in the picture for the tournament. The winger ended a five-goal La Liga loan campaign with Atletico from Juventus and will give coach Lionel Scaloni an additional attacking option in what is a fiercely competitive group of forwards vying for minutes in the Albiceleste lineup.
Called up for World Cup
Gonzalez (strain) is expected to return to action with the Argentinian national team after being included in their 26-man World Cup squad.
Analysis: Gonzalez missed competitive action since late April due to a muscle tear. However, his presence is his national team's official roster suggests he'll be fit enough to play a role in the World Cup group stage. The winger is coming off a five-goal La Liga campaign after spending the year on loan with Atletico Madrid from Juventus. While he has lacked consistency lately in terms of both fitness and performance, he'll hold high attacking upside if he starts for his country. In that case, his inclusion will push Thiago Almada (strain) and Giuliano Simeone to more limited roles.
