Palmeiras duo called up by Argentina for friendlies, see full squad | OneFootball

The coach Lionel Scaloni has defined the list of players called up for the Argentinian national team, this Friday. The duo from Palmeiras, composed of the midfielder Aníbal Moreno and the forward Flaco López, is present on the list, which includes 28 players. The Argentinians will play two friendly matches in the United States during the FIFA date in October.

Flaco López is called up for the second consecutive time

The Palmeiras forward is on the rise and was called up for the second time in a row. He was on Scaloni's list in September for two rounds of the World Cup Qualifiers. However, the athlete was not listed for any of the games: the victory over Venezuela (3-0) and the defeat to Ecuador (1-0).

At Palmeiras since 2022, Flaco López is experiencing one of his best moments at the club and is the top scorer of Abel Ferreira's team, with 21 goals scored this season. He is just one goal away from matching his best year.

Aníbal Moreno gets a chance with Scaloni

The midfielder Aníbal Moreno, on the other hand, is experiencing his first call-up for the main Argentinian national team. The midfielder arrived at Verdão in 2024 and quickly managed to establish himself in Abel Ferreira's team. This season, he continues among Abel Ferreira's starters. So far, he has played 44 games.

Palmeiras duo will be absent against Juventude

Therefore, the called up players, Aníbal Moreno and Flaco López, will be absent from Palmeiras for the match against Juventude. The delayed match from the 12th round takes place on October 11, at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque.
