Argentina have another change in their squad ahead of the friendlies against Mauritania and Zambia. Leonardo Balerdi is out due to injury and did not travel to Argentina.
The Olympique de Marseille defender joins a growing list of absences. Lisandro Martínez, Lautaro Martínez, Giovani Lo Celso, and Juan Foyth are also unavailable.
With Balerdi now unavailable, Scaloni has turned to a familiar name. Lucas Martínez Quarta has been called up as his replacement. The River Plate defender, who was part of Argentina’s Copa América 2024-winning squad, returns to the national team setup for these friendlies
Is this the best we could do?
