Gonzalo Pity MARTINEZ of Atlanta United could get the start for Argentina.

When Lionel SCALONI’s men take to the pitch on Friday against Venezuela, they will be without Angel DI MARIA. Per reports in the media, DI MARIA’s injury appears to have opened the door for Gonzalo Pity MARTINEZ to start.

With Fiorentina man German PEZZELLA reportedly still battling an injury, one of Gabriel MERCADO or Juan FOYTH could replace him in the starting eleven.

While in midfield, Roberto PEREYRA is favored to start, it could be either CORREA or BLANCO replacing him. Here’s the rumored eleven:

ARMANI, SARAVIA, PEZZELLA (MERCADO or FOYTH), KANNEMANN, TAGLIAFICO; LO CELSO, PAREDES; PEREYRA (CORREA or BLANCO), MESSI, Pity MARTINEZ; Lautaro or SUAREZ

Lautaro MARTINEZ could lose his starting spot for Argentina and be replaced by Matias SUAREZ.

Despite being rumored to be in the starting XI along with Lionel MESSI, Paulo DYBALA and Angel DI MARIA, the Inter striker could see himself on the bench when the match kicks off against Venezuela. Per a report by TyC Sports, 30 year old Matias SUAREZ impressed Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI enough to potentially change his mind about MARTINEZ.

This is the first time that SUAREZ has been called-up to the Argentina national team.
