The wait is running out and the beginning of a new path is about to begin. The National Team will debut in the Qualifiers heading to the Qatar World Cup in La Bombonera, on March 26 against Ecuador. And then he will travel to La Paz to play against Bolivia on 31. Lionel Scaloni will give Tuesday the list of the first summoned to face this process.
In principle, there would be no surprises among the names of those cited by the coach of Argentina. Scaloni had already warned at the end of last year. His plan was to end the tests on the last tour to settle a squad, beyond the odd new surname that can be added on time due to the loss of one or because his performance merits it.

Therefore, the Lionel DT will call the players he already knows and who were key pieces in the replacement he made after Russia. Lionel Messi will say present although he will not be in La Boca since he must fulfill the suspension for the red that he saw against Chile in the duel for the third place of the Copa América in Brazil. Then he will play in La Paz, where he always had a hard time at 3,600 meters above sea level.
Esteban Andrada and Franco Armani are number put. Who will be the headline? It will be one of the issues to be resolved. The third archer would be Agustín Marchesín.
In addition to Armani, Gonzalo Montiel and Lucas Martínez Quarta would return. River's men reappear after not being summoned while they were playing the Copa Libertadores. Both had left a pleasant impression on the friendly duels they played. Will they be headlines?

Montiel could win the pulse of Juan Foyth, relegated are Tottenham, on the right side who is still looking for a fixed owner. And Martínez Quarta will bid with Germán Pezzella to be the partner of Nicolás Otamendi, an immovable. Further back comes Walter Kannemann. The left side is by Nicolás Tagliafico.
Those who found their place with Scaloni will not be missing: Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo de Paul, Marcos Acuña, Giovani Lo Celso, Exequiel Palacios, Lucas Ocampos. There is a follow-up to three more men from River, but it will be necessary to see if any of them get into this citation: Enzo Pérez, Ignacio Fernández and Milton Casco.
The front has no doubts. In addition to Messi, Sergio Agüero, Lautaro Martínez, Paulo Dybala and Lucas Alario will be there.
Both from the AFA and from the Albiceleste coaching staff, they are attentive to how things develop in terms of the rapid worldwide spread of the coronavirus. It is that more and more sports events are suspended to avoid the concentration of people, especially foreigners.
In Italy the situation is complicated and the whole country was quarantined. The football was suspended. Will the summoned players leave the country? News is expected in the coming days. At the moment the Qualifiers are played normally.
