Argentina wrap up their tour against Puerto Rico in Miami | OneFootball

For the second match of the tour, the Scaloneta will play in Miami against the Caribbean team, an opponent they have never faced before. Broadcast by Canal 7 Satelital from Santiago del Estero.

The Argentinian National Team will play this Tuesday from 21:00 against Puerto Rico, at the Chase Stadium in Miami, in the closing of their friendly tour in the United States. The match, which will be broadcast by Canal 7 Satelital from Santiago del Estero, will mark the first time in history that both teams face each other.

The team led by Lionel Scaloni comes to the match after defeating Venezuela 1-0, with a goal by Giovani Lo Celso dedicated to the late Miguel Ángel Russo. For this match, the big question is the presence of Lionel Messi, who returned to training after his double with Inter Miami against Atlanta United, although the coaching staff will assess his physical condition before deciding if he will start or play minutes in the second half.

The Albiceleste, which will not have Franco Mastantuono or Enzo Fernández due to injury, might present changes compared to the team that defeated the Vinotinto. Scaloni anticipated that he plans to test some of the new call-ups, such as Lautaro Rivero (River Plate) and José Manuel López (Palmeiras), who could make their debut with the Senior National Team.

For its part, Puerto Rico, led by Charlie Trout, is going through a rebuilding phase. Eliminated from the Concacaf Qualifiers after losing to Suriname and El Salvador, the Caribbean team —which ranks 155th in the FIFA ranking— places its hopes on Jeremy de León, a young talent from Real Madrid on loan at Hércules in Spain.

Probable lineups: Argentina: Emiliano Martínez; Gonzalo Montiel, Leonardo Balerdi, Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás González; Giuliano Simeone, Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister, Giovani Lo Celso; José Manuel López and Nico Paz or Lionel Messi. Coach: Lionel Scaloni.
