The Argentine National Team will play its first friendly before the World Cup. From 9 pm they will face Honduras with a mix in the eleven. Musso will be in goal, new midfield and Giay will be the right back.
Argentina takes first place with a view to the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Starting at 9 p.m., at Kyle Field in Texas, the current world champion will face Honduras in their first warm-up friendly. An ideal match for Lionel Scaloni to try alternatives but with a primary objective of finishing the match without injuries.
One of the peculiarities of the friendly is that Argentina will not have any of the players who have physical discomfort. A long list made up of Gonzalo Montiel, Nahuel Molina, Nicolás Paz, Leandro Paredes, Emiliano Martínez, Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez. These include Leonardo Balerdi, torn and disaffected by the World Cup.
With this panorama, Scaloni confirmed in the previous press conference that Juan Musso will be in goal from the start, while Gerónimo Rulli will attack against Iceland. Agustín Giay won the fight against Nicolás Capaldo on the right side, although it is not ruled out that the one who emerged from the Boca youth team will see minutes.
Without Cuti Romero, Nicolás Otamendi will be the first central defender, accompanied in the saga by Lisandro Martínez. On the left side, immovable Nicolás Tagliafico. The midfield, which was initially going to have Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister and Rodrigo De Paul, was modified and Valentín Barco, Exequiel Palacios and Giovani Lo Celso will play.
The lead will be occupied by Giuliano Simeone, a natural winger who plays close to the wing, Thiago Almada, who will move from the left to the center, and Lautaro Martínez, starter due to Julián Álvarez’s injury. Although José López will surely add minutes from the bench instead of the Inter attacker.
