After the 36th consecutive match without defeat, Scaloni told the Spanish newspaper “Sport”: “There is the possibility of making changes to the squad of 26 players for the World Cup. We will see what happens”.

Scaloni justified himself by saying: “There are players who aren’t 100% ready. We want to be careful and see how they develop.”

National teams have the right to change their squad 24 hours before the first leg, and Scaloni will have to make his decision 24 hours before Tuesday’s world champions match against Saudi Arabia in Group C, which includes Mexico and Poland .

Doubts about the presence of Paulo Dybala in the squad for the final tournament due to an injury that kept him away from Roma for a month, before registering his return on Saturday, with the participation in the last quarter of the championship match against Turin (1-1).

There were also some doubts about the readiness of the other striker, Nicholas Gonzalez (Fiorentina, Italy) and defender Marcos Acuña (Seville, Spain), who attended Wednesday’s match against the United Arab Emirates before being replaced early in the second half.

Argentina, led by its star Lionel Messi, is considered one of the most important teams to win the world title for the first time since 1986 and the third in its history, especially after its performance in the South American qualifiers for the finals and its crowning of the Copa America 2021 title.
