# Manuel Lanzini receives Argentina call up

Manuel Lanzini has been called up for Argentina’s upcoming friendlies against Venezuela and Morocco.

The midfielder, who spent a large time out with injury, has been rewarded for his form since returning for West Ham recently.

The Argentine midfielder came back for the clashes with Fulham, Manchester City and Newcastle United and has impressed many with his performances.

Lanzini will, therefore, travel up with his fellow national teammates for the friendlies, and West Ham will be hoping that the midfielder stays injury free after his long layoff.

The midfielder had been in great form for West Ham before picking up an injury which required knee surgery.

He will be hoping to in the squad for Argentina’s Copa America campaign this Summer, with the national side hoping to avenge their poor performance at the World Cup.
