Argentinean goalkeeper Sergio Romero is confident he will be back for the national football team after missing out on the FIFA World Cup due to a long-standing injury.

Romero, who has played two World Cups, has been replaced in the World Cup squad by Nahuel Guzman, who plays in Mexico for Tigres UANL, reports Xinhua news agency. Romero's injury will be seen as a huge blow to Jorge Sampaoli's side, with his experience likely to have been valuable to a team looking to cast doubt on the under-performing label often attributed to their performances at major tournaments.
