Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Lisandro Martinez and Gio Lo Celso are among the names who are expected to make the Argentina team for the month of November.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has two more matches left this calendar year and the list of players for those matches will be announced in the next few days. Per a report by TyC Sports, several names will be making a return to the team when they play Brazil and Uruguay in a few weeks time.

The biggest name of all is that of captain Lionel Messi who has been suspended since the Copa America. Messi will be included in the list for the two clashes while good friend Sergio Aguero will be in the list as well. Aguero has not played for Argentina since the tournament in Brazil.

Lisandro Martinez of Ajax has spent the last few months in the Argentina U23 team but is rumored to be making the senior side this time around. Giovani Lo Celso who missed the last few friendly matches due to injury will be joining them too.

Boca Juniors goalkeeper Esteban Andrada and fellow team mate Alexis Mac Allister will make the squad in November after having been left out in October due to their Copa Libertadores matches vs. River Plate. Another player who missed out in October due to the Libertadores is Walter Kannemann of Gremio who is set to be there against the two South American nations. In contrast, no River Plate players will be included for the month.

Two more names are rumored as Rodrigo Battaglia and Matias Zaracho could find themselves making the team.

Gabriel Batistuta: “Lautaro Martinez is already a champion”

Argentina and football legend Gabriel Batistuta recently gave an interview with Sky Sport Italia where he discussed Lautaro Martinez and Mauro Icardi leaving Inter on loan.

Gabriel Batistuta knows a thing or two about scoring goals. Scoring over 200 goals during his playing career, Batistuta had this to say about Lautaro Martinez and Mauro Icardi. Here’s what he had to say:

“They are two great players. They are both goalscorers. When Icardi was at Inter he scored a lot of goals, I don’t know why they sent him away.

“Was it because of problems in the locker room? It is good justification but even still I would have kept a player like that but I am not in the dressing room. If they sent him away for this it means that the problem was serious and could not be solved in a short time.

“Lautaro Martinez is already a champion. He scores in all sorts of ways, helps out his teammates, is smart and fast and I like him.”
