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.”

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference on Sunday.

Lionel Scaloni commented on the team which will play against Ecuador on Tuesday in the World Cup qualifiers. Speaking to the media, here is what he had to say:

“We are going to train in the afternoon and the idea is to have a few changes. It’s the right time to try out some modifications. I trust Gonzalo Montiel and Julian Alvarez, the kid is popular without a doubt. That they don’t play from the start doesn’t mean that we don’t trust them.

“If you look at the list, the substitutes are there within it. It’s clear for us that the team feels comfortable with three midfielders, one more vertical and two forwards. But not all matches have to be like the one on Friday because the rival will submit or leads you to change.”

Scaloni also spoke about the team and what can be improved:

“There are many things to improve, I don’t think there is a perfect team. You can’t always player well or win. You can’t think that everything is good, there are always things to review and we are there. We have to be prepared to know that a difficult moment may arrive. Now, the wind is pushing us forward but that can go away. And that is when we have to be prepared.”

Lionel Messi is once more expected to start for the Argentina national team along with Julián Álvarez and Ángel Di María.

Messi scored against Venezuela in the 3-0 win on Friday and will look to score once more in Argentina’s last match in March of the World Cup qualifiers. According to TyC Sports, Messi is rumored to start with Álvarez and Di María up front.

Julián Álvarez would replace Joaquín Correa in the starting eleven. It was Correa who started the match against Venezuela and Di María would replace Nicolás González.

Juan Musso is also set to start in place of Franco Armani. Here is the rumored eleven:

Musso; Molina, Martínez Quarta, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Paredes, Palacios; Messi, Álvarez, Di María
