Gerónimo Rulli is expected to be called up for the Argentina national team before the Copa America.

Rulli will be returning to the Argentina national team after a year. According to Gastón Edul, Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni will be calling up Rulli to the team for their two matches before the Copa America in the United States.

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni will be calling up four goalkeepers for the matches against Ecuador and Guatemala on June 9 and June 14, respectively. Those four being Emiliano Martínez, Franco Armani, Gerónimo Rulli and Walter Benítez, with one of them being cut for the Copa America.

The last time Rulli was called up for Argentina was in June 2023 for an end of the season tour in Asia. The goalkeeper got injured for Ajax during their first game of the season and was out for three months and eventually lost his starting spot in the team.
