Claudio Echeverri will play in the Olympic qualifiers in place of injured Pedro de la Vega.
“El Diablito” was called up by the coach Javier Mascherano as an emergency following a muscle tear suffered by the Lanús attacker, Pedro de la Vega. Echeverri, who had already started the preseason with River Plate in the United States, will travel shortly to join the Argentina U-23 team.
The official list of players that will represent Argentina in the Olympic qualifiers to start on January 20 is expected to be released in the next couple of days.
