Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni speaks on the players that will be called up.

Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference on Monday about the players that are being called up to the Argentina national team. Speaking at the press conference, here is what he had to say:

“In these 6 games we brought the base of players that gave us the Copa America and there was no time to call other players but from now on (March 2025) we need them to play in their clubs and we will decide by their football level. We always did it this way except this time when we decided in some cases to continue bringing them because they are important.”

Gonzalo Montiel and Leonardo Balerdi could both start for Argentina on Tuesday.

Montiel and Balerdi could be in the starting eleven against Peru. According to Gastón Edul, the two players are emerging as starters for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifying match.

Nahuel Molina and Cristian Romero are both out of the team due to fitness problems.

Cristian Romero will miss Argentina’s World Cup qualifying match against Peru.

Romero will not be with the team for Tuesday’s game. The Argentina national team has announced that the 26 year old is out of the team and will miss the match.

He was substituted out of Argentina’s 2-1 loss against Paraguay due to a foot injury.
