Lionel Messi. La Pulga will be the starter for this last test of the Argentine National Team before beginning the defense of the Copa América won in Brazil in 2021.
The Argentine National Team will test players before the 2024 Copa América
Scaloni’s idea for this match is to give minutes to those who were not against Ecuador. This would mean the return to the starting eleven of defenders Nicolás Tagliafico, Nicolás Otamendi and Nahuel Molina, midfielders Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernández, and star Lionel Messi, among others. Nor should we rule out a possible entry of Exequiel Palacios in place of Rodrigo De Paul.
This Thursday the players had to train at the hotel due to the flood and the weather alert in Fort Lauderdale, Miami.
