Coloccini picked up a groin injury at Ipswich Town and will not play in the World Cup qualifiers with Peru and Uruguay.
Chris Hughton: “Coloccini will certainly miss the weekend.
“And if he is not fit for the weekend, then we won’t send him to Argentina.
“I’m not going to be making any phonecalls to Diego Maradona and don’t expect one back.
“It’s one I need to check, but from our point of view, if he doesn’t play at the weekend, then he’s not going.”
Last month, Coloccini made the long- haul journey to Rosario for Argentina’s 3-1 home loss to Brazil and then Asunscion as Paraguay inflicted further damage to their ailing World Cup campaign – but he didn’t play.
Chris Hughton: “At this moment Jonas is fit, and it’s his prerogative and privilege to go away with his country.”
