Unused from bench
Gonzalez (muscular) was named on the bench for Saturday's 2-0 victory over Honduras without featuring, the federation posted.
Analysis: Gonzalez ended a five-goal La Liga loan campaign with Atletico Madrid from Juventus and his inclusion in the matchday squad is a clean bill of health heading into the World Cup, although he didn't feature. The winger will now push for a role in Argentina's attacking rotation when their campaign gets underway against Algeria on June 16, adding further depth and competition to an already fiercely talented group of forwards at coach Lionel Scaloni's disposal.
Cleared and ready for World Cup
Gonzalez (muscular) has been confirmed fit and is ready to feature for Argentina at the World Cup, according to Hernan Castillo.
Analysis: Gonzalez had been sidelined since late April with a muscle tear but his full recovery puts him firmly in the picture for the tournament. The winger ended a five-goal La Liga loan campaign with Atletico from Juventus and will give coach Lionel Scaloni an additional attacking option in what is a fiercely competitive group of forwards vying for minutes in the Albiceleste lineup.
