It would have been preferable for Equi Fernandez and V. Gomez to be included from the start; the presence of Otamendi, Lo Celso, and De Paul appears to be primarily for Messi’s farewell, which implies that De Paul and Lo Celso may not remain with the team following that match.
Call ups for Flores and Tomas Martinez rather expected (the more the later one represents Estudiantes as the only Argentina Copa Libertadores semifinalist. Good to see Equi Fernandez on the list. Andrada not my favourite. Gomez grabbed for Argentina.
