Argentina's November squad introduces new defensive options as Lionel Scaloni prepares for friendlies against Uruguay and Costa Rica. Tuoi Tre describes it as his first selection since Lionel Messi left international football.
New defenders and returning players
Chelsea centre-back Aaron Anselmino receives his first senior call-up, alongside another newcomer, Parma defender Mariano Troilo. River Plate's Gonzalo Montiel returns after missing the previous camp.
The report also highlights Julian Alvarez, Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernandez as established members of the group, with Nicolas Paz, Thiago Almada and Franco Mastantuono among the younger options in the transition.
Cristian Romero, Lautaro Martinez and Nicolas Gonzalez are absent through injury. Rodrigo De Paul and Giovani Lo Celso have not been selected, while Leandro Paredes and Nahuel Molina remain suspended, according to Tuoi Tre.
Medical assessment for Martinez
Emiliano Martinez is included while recovering from surgery following a jaw injury on 17 October. His availability to play depends on the medical staff's assessment.
Bongda24h also reports his selection and recalls the collision with Jarrad Branthwaite during Chelsea's match against Everton. Its account discusses a protective mask as a possible route back while he continues recovering.
Argentina will host Uruguay at La Bombonera on 13 November and face Costa Rica at Cordoba's Mario Alberto Kempes stadium on 17 November, using the local dates published by Tuoi Tre. Those friendlies are Scaloni's next opportunity to work with the new arrivals alongside established internationals.
