Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has selected his list of players for June’s World Cup qualifiers vs. Chile and Colombia.
The European based list has been announced with a lot of fan favorites included. A total of 30 players have been announced with the likes of Emiliano Buendia, Lisandro Martinez and Cristian Romero called-up. The veterans on the team are Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria and Agustin Marchesin have all been included.
Paulo Dybala and Mauro Icardi both don’t make the squad with the surprise being Dybala. With the Copa America beginning just a few days after the qualifiers, his place in that squad could be in jeopardy. The 27 year old has missed much of the season due to injury and only has four goals to his name.
