The Argentina National Team will resume training this Monday at 5:00 p.m. at the Ezeiza training ground, after two days off granted by Lionel Scaloni. The squad will reunite to prepare for next Wednesday’s friendly against Bolivia in Córdoba, the first match of the FIFA international window.
After having Saturday and Sunday off to rest, the players called up by Lionel Scaloni will return this afternoon to the «Lionel Andrés Messi» Training Ground. The session will mark the return of the only two call-ups who got minutes with their clubs over the weekend: defender Tomás Palacios (who played in the International Super Cup with Estudiantes) and forward Leonel Flores (who started in Boca’s qualification for the Copa Argentina semifinals).
The clash against Bolivia will kick off a run of three matches scheduled for this FIFA window. After this fixture, Argentina will return to Buenos Aires to face Burkina Faso and Benin at the Estadio Monumental, a match that will mark Lionel Messi’s definitive farewell to the National Team.
For the match in Córdoba, the coaching staff has not yet decided on the starting lineup. However, there is strong anticipation over the possible debut of several of the young players called up and the return of footballers who have once again earned a place in the coach’s plans.
