Juan Musso will start for Argentina against Bolivia in Thursday’s World Cup qualifier.

Musso, who is Argentina’s third choice goalkeeper will be starting against Bolivia in the third of three World Cup qualifying matches. As we reported, Emiliano Martinez will not participate in the match against Bolivia as he, along with Cristian Romero, Gio Lo Celso and Emiliano Buendia are on their way to Croatia.

In addition to Emiliano Martinez, Franco Armani is out of the Argentina team due to injury. This means that with both Martinez and Armani out, Juan Musso would get his first start in an Argentina shirt.

The match against Brazil saw Cristian Romero and Gio Lo Celso also starting and with both players out, that would mean two more changes. Per a report by TyC Sports, Pezzella is expected to replace Romero in the back line. Pezzella started the match against Venezuela alongside Otamendi since Romero was suspended.

Lionel Scaloni will have another decision to make in midfield. With no Gio Lo Celso, this could open the door for Palacios or possibly even Nicolas Gonzalez.

Cristian Romero and Gio Lo Celso have been released from the Argentina national team and they will not play against Bolivia in the World Cup qualifiers.

After travelling to Argentina, Romero and Lo Celso will be flying out to Croatia, similar to Emiliano Martinez and Emiliano Buendia. The four have made headlines in the past few days after Argentina’s match against Brazil was stopped by Brazilian health officials.

Romero and Lo Celso, who reportedly joined the Argentina team without the blessing of their club Tottenham, would fly to Croatia where they would spend a few days there prior to flying out to England.

Franco Armani is out of the Argentina national team as he has been replaced by Agustin Rossi.

Armani, who was left out of the two match squads by coach Lionel Scaloni for the World Cup qualifying matches against Venezuela and Brazil, has left the team. He has been suffering from a knee injury.

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has called-up Agustin Rossi of Boca Juniors. Still only 26 years old, this is Rossi’s first call-up to the national team.

Emiliano Martinez spoke about the situation in Brazil with the Argentina national team as he was at the airport.

Martinez, who left the Argentina national team, was part of the controversy surrounding Argentina’s match against Brazil on Sunday. Emiliano Martinez, along with Cristian Romero and Gio Lo Celso all started for Argentina as Brazilian health agents marched onto the pitch. The match was stopped after five minutes.

After the match was stopped, reports came out that the three players, along with Emiliano Buendia, would be forced to leave the country. Martinez spoke about the situation as he was leaving Argentina. Here’s what he had to say:

“We don’t understand what happened the other day. It’s something that has never been seen in football. It’s a shame for South American football. A match that big, at an international level that is suspended for those things, it’ll never be understood.

“We prepared for three days in Brazil to prepare for the match to start and then they cancel it. It’s a bitter feeling. We had everything to win and for political reasons, it was suspended and we had to go back.

“We stayed 30 minutes in the locker room to see if we would go out. After that they told us that we had to leave. And after that came the despair of whether we would stay there with the boys from England for 14 days. It was all uncertain. Chiqui (Tapia) helped, he backed us. I think him and the boys.

“I did not understand Brazil’s regulations. The entire world saw what happened. It was a match to enjoy.

“The four of us from England decided to leave (to join Argentina) for the love of the shirt. As much as those from the Premier League did not want to come, we still decided to travel. After winning the Copa America, everyone wanted to be in the group. It’s something beautiful. We assume the consequences.

“On a personal level, I needed to play these two matches to give as much as I can. It’s a shame, hopefully we win on Thursday.”

The Argentina national team have flown out of Brazil with all four of the Premier League players on the flight.

With Argentina’s match against Brazil called-off, the team took a flight to Argentina where they will play Bolivia in a World Cup qualifier. On that flight were Emiliano Martinez, Cristian Romero, Gio Lo Celso and Emiliano Buendia.

Lionel Scaloni’s team remained in the stadium for over an hour following the end of the match.
