We know Argentina will play Russia but we don’t know who they will face in their second friendly of the same month. Here is the list down below. Notable omissions: Manuel LANZINI and Enzo PEREZ. Anyone else? Looks like HIGUAIN has been left out again. Two new faces: Matias KRANEVITTER and Diego PEROTTI. What does everyone think?
Goalkeepers:
Sergio ROMERO
Nahuel GUZMAN
Agustin MARCHESIN

If any of these players are not able to make it, there are eight players who Jorge SAMPAOLI has as backups: Joaquín Correa, Angel Correa, Guido Pizarro, Emanuel Mammana, Giovanni Lo Celso, Manuel Lanzini, Gerónimo Rulli & Emanuel Insua. He also revealed that he is closely monitoring the recoveries of both Ramiro FUNES MORI and Marcos ROJO.
In terms of the local based players: Darío Benedetto (Boca), Enzo Pérez & Nacho Fernández (River) would be the local players that are picked. Also, there will be a fourth player that gets picked and that would come from either: Fabricio Bustos (Independiente), Pablo Pérez (Boca) or Lautaro Acosta (Lanús).
