Javier Mascherano has claimed that Argentina’s Olympic base was robbed before their shock defeat to Morocco.

The Albiceleste’s campaign in Paris has sunk into further chaos as their training base was allegedly burglarised. Among the stolen items is allegedly a watch belonging to Thiago Almada. Subsequently, the Argentine delegation lodged a police report in Lyon, according to the prosecutor’s office in Saint-Etienne.

Mascherano confirmed the incident, stating, “They went into training and robbed us, in the Olympic Games. We didn’t want to say anything after training, I don’t think it helps anything. But obviously, it’s a bit disagreeable that these kinds of things happen.”
