The coach of the Argentine national team, Lionel Scaloni, has his starting eleven in mind for the match against Australia in Beijing.
Lionel Scaloni has all his players, but there are two doubts about the starting eleven. Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Scaloni said the squad that will start is almost the same as the one that started the World Cup final.
Two names mentioned in the Argentine media are Alexis Mac Allister and Nicolás Tagliafico. Alexis Mac Allister is a bit tired and if he should be on the bench, Gio Lo Celso is expected to start in midfield.
Nicolás Tagliafico also has a bit of fatigue and Marcos Acuña would start in his place. This would be the starting eleven for the match:
Emiliano Martínez; Acuña, Otamendi, Romero, Molina; Di Maria, Lo Celso, Enzo, De Paul; Julián Álvarez and Lionel Messi
