Scaloni names Argentina squad: Echeverri in, Medina out | OneFootball

Ten days passed since the preliminary list given by the Albiceleste’s coach, which included 31 players, until this Thursday when he confirmed the final squad to play the last double matchday of the Qualifiers on the road to the World Cup to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Argentina will finish its participation at home against Venezuela, on Thursday, September 4, and will end the qualifying stage as visitors against Ecuador, on Tuesday the 9th.

Among those called up, Scaloni surprised with the inclusion of Julio Soler (Bournemouth) and José Manuel López (Palmeiras). There are also two young players who came up through River and are now playing in European football: Franco Mastantuono, after making his debut for Real Madrid, and Claudio Echeverri, the new Bayer Leverkusen player.

Additionally, Marcos Acuña returned, currently at River, after having been absent from the last call-ups.

On the other hand, Ángel Correa and Facundo Medina, among others, were left out. It is known that Enzo Fernández, for example, will not be present as he is suspended for two matches, after being sent off against Colombia.
