Argentina coach Scaloni suspended for Copa America match against Peru for repeated lateness | saskNOW | Saskatchewan

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has been suspended for one match and will not play in the team’s final Copa America group game against Peru on Saturday.

Scaloni was suspended because Argentina missed the second half of their two Copa America matches – a 2-0 victory over Canada and a 1-0 triumph over Chile – the CONMEBOL disciplinary committee said on Friday.

Scaloni is also unable to attend the post-match press conference.

Argentina, the defending Copa America champions, have already secured qualification to the knockout stages.
