While cChile will play everything against the Canadian team in Orlando, some 400 kilometers south, in Miami, Argentina will host Peru, in a key match to define Group A.
Let us remember that the albiceleste is classified for the quarterfinals after beating La Roja in a match full of controversial plays in favor of the world champion team.
In front of them they will have those from Rimac who arrive very beaten after losing to Canada, and they urgently need to win and wait for what happens in the other match.
Regarding the eleven that Argentina will field at the Hard Rock Stadium, it was the Argentine coach himself, Lionel Scaloni, who made it clear that the substitutes will play.
“In the next match it is fair that the boys who have not played these two games play. I need to see them and they deserve it,” the strategist assured.
He added that “it is possible that they will play against Peru, but we have 10 players in that situation, I have to do the math, haha. The logical thing would be for them to get minutes because they are kids who have been learning a lot.”
Argentina’s alternative lineup against Peru
According to TyC Sports, Argentina’s eleven would be with Emiliano Martínez; Gonzalo Montiel, Germán Pezzella, Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás Tagliafico; Enzo Fernández, Leandro Paredes or Giovani Lo Celso, Exequiel Palacios; Ángel Di María, Lautaro Martínez and Alejandro Garnacho or Valentín Carboni.
