Senesi enjoyed a successful season with Bournemouth. Last season, he helped the team secure a sixth-place finish in the English Premier League, earning them a historic spot in European competition. Despite this achievement, he turned down a new contract offer and, as a free agent, agreed to terms with Tottenham.

Argentina will kick off their World Cup title defense on June 17 at 3:00 AM CET with a match against Algeria in Kansas City. They will also face Austria and Jordan in Group J.
