Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain believes “it was right” for Argentina not to go to Israel for a friendly.
It emerged last night that the Albiceleste had been forced to cancel the World Cup warm-up match, as neither the players nor Coach Jorge Sampaoli wanted to go.
There were protests about the decision to schedule the friendly, due to the situation in Gaza, and even threats of violence against the players.
“It was right not to go to Israel,” Higuain told Clarin.
