Leonel Di Plácido (born 28 January 1994) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Botafogo, on loan from Lanús.[1][3]
Club career[edit]
Di Plácido started his professional career in Floresta, Buenos Aires with then-Primera División club All Boys in 2013, however his first appearance for the team came in 2014 in a league defeat against Newell's Old Boys.[1][3] His first five appearances for All Boys were off the bench so he had to wait until 17 April to start a match, versus Arsenal de Sarandí, which ended with him scoring his first goal of his career, an 84th-minute equaliser assisted by Javier Cámpora. However, it was not a good season for All Boys as they suffered relegation into the Primera B Nacional.[1]
In 2014, his second season with All Boys, he participated in fifteen matches over two competitions and scored his second goal; against Unión. 2015 turned out to be Di Plácido's most prominent and last season with the club as he played thirty-five times before departing to join Atlético Tucumán on loan until June 2017 in 2016. He made his debut for his new club on 19 February against Unión.[1][3] On 24 August 2017, Di Plácido completed a permanent transfer to Lanús.[1][4][5] He made his Lanús debut in a home defeat to Boca Juniors on 10 September.[1]
International career[edit]
Di Plácido was called up to the Argentina national team by Lionel Scaloni for friendlies in September 2018 with Guatemala and Colombia; though remained on the bench for both fixtures.[1][6]
Personal life[edit]
On 1 September 2020, it was confirmed that Di Plácido had tested positive for COVID-19 amid the pandemic; having shown symptoms a week prior.[7]
