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

It's been 10 days since the preliminary list of 31 footballers was given by the Albiceleste's coach, and this Thursday he confirmed the definitive squad to compete in the final double date of the Qualifiers for the World Cup to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Argentina will close its participation as a host against Venezuela, on Thursday, September 4, and will finish the qualifying stage as a visitor against Ecuador, on Tuesday, 9.

Among the called up players, Scaloni surprised with the calls of Julio Soler (Bournemouth) and Jose Manuel Lopez (Palmeiras). And there are two young players who emerged from River, now in European football: Franco Mastantuono, after making his debut at Real Madrid, and Claudio Echeverri, new player at Bayer Leverkusen.

Also, Marcos Acuña returned, currently at River, after having been absent in the last calls.

On the other hand, Angel Correa and Facundo Medina, among others, were left out. It is known that Enzo Fernandez, for example, will not be available due to being suspended for two matches, after his expulsion against Colombia.
