Lionel Sacloni, technical director of the Argentine soccer team, only has one task left: to define the starting eleven that will stop against Bolivia this Tuesday at the Más Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires, in a match corresponding to the tenth date of the South American Qualifiers . The coach will clear up all his doubts on Monday afternoon, when the Albiceleste holds its last match at its Ezeiza venue.
The main news in Argentina is the possible reappearance of Alexis Mac Allister, who missed the game against Venezuela due to muscle overload. The Liverpool player has already trained normally and is in optimal physical condition to be part of the starting 11.
Another who has his place guaranteed in the team is Cuti Romero, the central defender who has already served a one-game suspension. Now, Scaloni will have to define whether his partner at the back is Lisandro Martínez or Nicolás Otamendi. Martínez was also not part of the match against Vinotinto due to muscle fatigue.
The one who will not be against Bolivia is goalkeeper Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez, who will have to serve one more game of suspension after being sanctioned with two games by FIFA, due to unsportsmanlike conduct. His place will be taken by Geronimo Rulli.
If there are no last minute variants, Lionel Sacaloni will present the following team against Bolivia: Rulli; Molina, C. Romero, Lisandro Martínez or Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Enzo Fernández, Mac Allister or Lo Celso; Messi; Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez.
