Gerónimo Rulli of Villarreal is set to start for Argentina against Ecuador in the World Cup qualifier.

Rulli is expected to get his third start for the Argentina national team. According to Hernán Claus, coach Lionel Scaloni will opt for 29 year old Rulli instead of Juan Musso of Atalanta.

The Argentine has played twice for the national team. The first in a 3-0 win vs. GUatemala where he played the entire match. The second match in a 2-0 win vs. Mexico where he played 59 minutes and was substituted for Paulo Gazzaniga.

As we reported earlier, here is the rumored eleven:

Musso or Rulli; Montiel, Pezzella or Martínez Quarta, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Guido, Palacios or Mac Allister; Messi, Julián Álvarez and Nicolás González or Ángel Correa.

Changes were made in Argentinas’s last training session before travelling to Ecuador for the World Cup qualifying match.

Gerónimo Rulli was the goalkeeper in training and with no Emiliano Martinez and Scaloni stating that there could be changes, it would be between Rulli and Juan Musso as the goalkeeper. Per Gastón Edul, Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni made several changes in the last training.

Lionel Scaloni made changes not only to the goalkeeper but for the defenders. Lucas Martínez Quarta started in place of Germán Pezzella. This could mean that instead of the rumored Juan Musso and Germán Pezzella starting for Argentina against Ecuador, it could be Rulli and Martínez Quarta.

While being rumored to start on Monday, Ángel Di María no longer looks set to start. It would be either Nicolás González or Ángel Correa with reports in the media leaning more towards Correa starting. Here is the rumored eleven:

Musso or Rulli; Montiel, Pezzella or Martínez Quarta, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Guido, Palacios or Mac Allister; Messi, Julián Álvarez and Nicolás González or Ángel Correa.

It’s a new series on Mundo Albiceleste’s Youtube channel as we review Argentina’s 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign!

With it being World Cup year, Argentina have had some memorable World Cup qualifying campaigns and matches. We will review some of Argentina’s more memorable runs to the World Cup.

In part 2 of the new series, we will look at the 2010 qualifiers with Diego Maradona as coach! Lionel Messi wears the number 10 shirt, the 6-1 loss against Bolivia, Martin Palermo’s goal against Peru and the entire qualification!

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has spoken about Paulo Dybala’s exclusion from the team.

Lionel Scaloni did not select Paulo Dybala for the World Cup qualifying matches. Dybala has been struggling with fitness issues and has been left out of the team.

Scaloni spoke at a press conference on Sunday regarding the possible eleven against Ecuador in Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier and Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria’s Instagram posts. Regarding Dybala, here is what he had to say:

“He has not had the continuity that we all would like and that means that when he comes here, he is not in the best conditions. In the end, the national team loses because we need them to be well when deciding.

“That doubt does not have to be due to a physical issue but due to an issue that the coach sees. Let him play for his club and make a difference.”
