OneFootball had the opportunity to speak with Ander Herrera, thanks to Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and took the chance to ask him about how he's preparing for the Club World Cup.Currently, the Xeneize player is injured and recovering from a grade two tear in the rectus of his right leg. However, he has the illusion of being able to face Lanús.
"I'm recovering to beat Lanús on Saturday and the Club World Cup will arrive later, but there's still over a month to go. We're going to try to fight for the Apertura title. We've had a very good first half before the playoffs. We're the second team with the most points".
Ander knows that a totally exciting competition like the Club World Cup is coming, but for now, he only thinks about the local terrain.
"After what has to happen in the Apertura, we'll think about the Club World Cup. I know everyone has high expectations, but I take it day by day. First Lanús and then the next thing will come".
Ander Herrera partnered with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, official sponsor of the UEFA Europa League and Conference League, for his latest campaign "Rent-A-Player". Whether you need a car for a weekend getaway or a replacement while yours is in the shop, Enterprise has you covered with 22 branches in Argentina.

Tyler Adams to miss US-Switzerland friendly because of foot injury
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams will miss Tuesday night's friendly against Switzerland because of a foot injury. 'I hope it's not a big issue,' coach Mauricio Pochettino said Monday. 'I think we can manage in a good way and rest him a few days and then see if he can be ready for the Gold Cup.' Adams played the second half of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Turkey. The Americans open the CONCACAF Gold Cup against Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday. They already are missing are Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Antonee Robinson, Sergiño Dest, Yunus Musah, Folarin Balogun and Gio Reyna. Some are hurt, some want time off and some will be at the Club World Cup. The U.S. will be trying to avoid its first four-game losing streak since dropping five straight in 2007. Pochettino praised goalkeeper Matt Freese, who made his debut against Turkey in place of Matt Turner, the U.S. starter since 2022. Turner did not play for Crystal Palace after March 1. 'He was very, very good,' Pochettino said. 'Things that he needs to prove? Of course. But he needs to play and needs games with the national team. ... He has amazing potential. Yes, it's a good competition for us, now to discover than he can cope with the pressure to play in front of the national team.' ___
