The Argentina National Team will resume training this Monday at 5:00 p.m. at the Ezeiza training center, 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 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 Center. The day 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 (a starter in Boca’s qualification for the Copa Argentina semifinals).
The clash against Bolivia will begin a run of three matches scheduled for this FIFA window. After this commitment, Argentina will return to Buenos Aires to face Burkina Faso and Benin at the Monumental Stadium, 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.
