Tomás Aranda was called up by Lionel Scaloni for Argentina’s friendlies ahead of the FIFA World Cup. The Boca player will travel to the United States alongside Leandro Paredes, where the warm-up matches for the biggest tournament of all will take place.
La Albiceleste are getting ready for the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. In the lead-up to the tournament, the team will play two friendlies, one against Honduras and the last one against Iceland.
The first match against Honduras will be played on Saturday, June 6 at Kyle Field stadium in the U.S. state of Texas. The second match will be against Iceland on Tuesday, June 9 at Jordan Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama.

Leandro Paredes and Tomás Aranda will travel to the United States with the Argentina national team.
For both matches, coach Lionel Scaloni put together a large squad list. Tomás Aranda is included, along with Leandro Paredes, who is a regular in the world champion team that will be looking to defend its title.
It is important to note that for these friendlies, FIFA does not place restrictions on calling up players, so there will be more than 30 footballers. However, before Friday the final list of 26 players who will go to the World Cup must be announced, and the trip for the friendlies will come afterward.
Like Leandro Paredes, the Ciudadela native will be part of the starting lineup Claudio Úbeda will field in the team’s final match of the semester. Against Universidad Católica, a place in the Copa Libertadores round of 16 is at stake.

Aranda broke into the first team and never looked back.
The 19-year-old will have the responsibility of leading the team to a win that would send them through to the next round in South America’s top club competition. The rest of the team will be made up of Leandro Brey, Lautaro Di Lollo, Marco Pellegrino, Lautaro Blanco, Ander Herrera, Milton Delgado, Exequiel Zeballos, and Milton Giménez.
