Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni could be taking nine defenders instead of eight to the World Cup.
Lionel Scaloni has some injuries to the team and he could be taking one more defender to the team. According to Gastón Edul, Lionel Scaloni is leaning towards taking nine defenders to the World Cup instead of eight because of the growing number of injuries to defenders.
Cristian Romero is presently out with an injury while Gonzalo Montiel also has fitness issues.
It would be beneficial for argentina to consider replacing Montiel and Acuña with Capaldo and Rojas.
