Breaking news coming out that Giovani LO CELSO has been called-up to the Argentina squad.

This is the first time that the PSG man has made the Argentina team. According to reports, River Plate’s Enzo PEREZ is a doubt for both of Argentina’s matches against Russia and Nigeria hence the reason for LO CELSO’s call-up. Giovani was part of the 2016 Argentina Olympic team which got eliminated in the group stages.

Here’s the updated Argentina list for the two matches:

Manuel LANZINI scores for West Ham against Liverpool

One of West Ham’s best players on the pitch (if not the best player), Manuel LANZINI scored for West Ham against Liverpool.

A match to forget for the hammers but a solid performance from the former River Plate man as he scored in West Ham’s 4-1 loss to Liverpool. With Liverpool up 2-0, West Ham’s number 10 scored his first goal of the season. However, only 55 seconds after the Argentine international found the back of the net, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored for Liverpool.

While not in the latest Argentina squad, he will surely give coach Jorge SAMPAOLI a lot of problems while putting together the list next time.

Gabriel  MERCADO will not take part in Argentina’s upcoming tour of Russia after suffering an injury to his right hamstring.

His club, Sevilla have just confirmed this stating that he will not take part in the weekend’s clash against Barcelona. Jorge SAMPAOLI has decided to call upon Emanuel MAMMANA of Zenit St. Petersburg as the replacement. MAMMANA was initially named as one of the reserves when the squad’s was announced last week. His last appearance for Argentina was in the 6-0 win over Singapore back in June.

For MAMMANA, it means little travelling as he is based in Russia and both friendly matches will be held in that country.

Cristian PAVON is the latest name called-up from the domestic league.

With the two matches against Russia and Nigeria fast approaching, Jorge SAMPAOLI has called-up four players based in Argentina. Those four players being youngster Cristian PAVON (Boca Juniors), Enzo PEREZ (River Plate)’ Dario BENEDETTO (Boca Juniors) and Fernando BBELLUSCHI (San Lorenzo).

With Lucas BIGLIA’s injury, SAMPAOLI decided to name a replacement, with that player being Emiliano INSUA of Stuttgart. Here is the updated list (including the four domestic players):

Lionel MESSI is expected to sit out the match against Nigeria.

Reports are coming out that Lionel MESSI will not take part in Argentina’s friendly match later this month (on November 14) against Nigeria. MESSI will play Argentina’s first friendly match against Russia on November 11 in Moscow before flying back to Barcelona.

MESSI did the same thing back in June when Jorge SAMPAOLI first took charge of the team. The Argentina captain played in the team’s 1-0 victory against Brazil in Australia while missing the match against Singapore a few days later.

The last time the two teams faced off was at the 2014 FIFA World Cup where the Albiceleste won 3-2 courtesy of two goals by Lionel MESSI himself.
