What changed since 2022? Scaloni's changes | OneFootball

The long-awaited Argentina squad list for the World Cup is out, and there are eight changes by Scaloni compared to the team that won it all in 2022.

It was expected over the weekend, but Lionel Scaloni moved things up and unveiled the World Cup squad. Among the 26 call-ups there are a few surprises, such as José López, and there are eight changes compared to the world champions in Qatar.

Scaloni’s eight changes

Starting from the back and moving forward, Franco Armani will not be there, logically, and he is replaced by Juan Musso, who has been in great form at Atlético de Madrid. In defense, Juan Foyth misses out through injury and Facundo Medina comes in, as does Leonardo Balerdi, who in this case takes the place of Germán Pezzella. Marcos Acuña is another notable absence. Valentín Barco, also considered a midfielder, will be one of the alternatives to Nicolás Tagliafico.

In midfield, Guido Rodríguez has made way for Giuliano Simeone, and Alejandro Gómez for Giovanni Lo Celso. Up front, Nicolás Paz comes in for Paulo Dybala, Nicolás González for Ángel Di María, and Flaco López, who is tearing it up at Palmeiras, for Ángel Correa.
