Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez has continued his lengthy season by helping Argentina into the semi-finals of the Copa America.
When Julian Alvarez sent his penalty flying into the top corner in Houston overnight, he steadied Argentina's Copa America hopes after a turbulent quarter final vs Ecuador.
Manchester City will be delighted if Alvarez can add yet another major trophy to his bulging collection, but an extra week off could have done wonders to a player who simply doesn't get time off. It was fitting that the quarter-final took place at the NRG Stadium in Houston, as that was the site of his first outing as a City player in 2022.
Add the 21 games for club and country when he was an unused substitute, and he has warmed up for 182 games in the last two-and-a-half years at a rate of one every 4.8 days. That also includes 13 trips to South America or other long-haul destinations on international duty, and two pre-season tours with City.
