Argentina will look to make it three wins out of three at the FIFA U20 World Cup as the starting XI against Korea Republic is confirmed.
With qualification all but secured for the second round, Argentina U20 coach Fernando BATISTA has made a few changes to the team which started the 2-0 win earlier this week. Here’s the starting XI.
Argentina’s shirt numbers for the Copa America have been announced.
To no surprise, Lionel MESSI gets the number 10 shirt while the number 9 goes to Sergio AGUERO. Here’s the full squad numbers:

With the number 1 going to Franco ARMANI, this would likely mean that he would be the starting goalkeeper for Argentina at the Copa America.
Erik LAMELA, Manuel LANZINI and Ignacio FERNANDEZ are the three possible replacements for Exequiel PALACIOS in the Argentina team.
The injury bug has started to hit the Argentina national team. Coach Lionel SCALONI has already had to look at potentially using Milton CASCO as a right back as Renzo SARAVIA isn’t fully fit. But now, there’s more concern.
As we reported earlier, Exequiel PALACIOS is battling a hamstring problem and TyC Sports are reporting that three names have emerged as a possible replacement. Two former River Plate players and one present one.
Tottenham are in the Champions League final and Erik LAMELA is one of the names being mentioned to possibly replace PALACIOS. The other is Manuel LANZINI of West Ham United and the third is PALACIO’s team mate with River, Ignacio FERNANDEZ.
Exequiel PALACIOS is likely to miss the Copa America with Argentina as he suffered an injury during River Plate’s Recopa match.
It’s not the best of news for Argentina as rumors are coming out that there’s a strong chance Exequiel PALACIOS will miss the Copa America. Per a report by TyC Sports, PALACIOS had discomfort in one of his hamstrings. Further tests will be done to determine the severity of his injury.
However, as it stands, the rumors are that PALACIOS will not make the Copa America for Argentina.
Congratulations to both Gonzalo HIGUAIN and Willy CABALLERO on winning the Europa League with Chelsea.
Despite not playing in the final, both players will be able to add Europa League winners medals to their trophy cabinet. For the former Argentina forward, it’s his first trophy with Chelsea since joining them in January from AC Milan on loan. It’s also his first European cup trophy as he has never won the Champions League.
For goalkeeper Willy CABALLERO, it’s his second trophy with Chelsea after having won the 2017-2018 FA Cup. Just like HIGUAIN, he has never won the Champions League and it’s his first European cup.
