The world champions are arriving in Philadelphia.
Every time they meet again, the smiles and good vibes of a group strengthened by all the experiences they have gone through automatically arise.
Nicolás Tagliafico, Julián Álvarez, Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso and the kids, Valentín Barco, Facundo Buonanotte and Valentín Carboni, were the first players to arrive this Sunday in the United States, where the Argentine National Team coaching staff has been waiting
since
the end of week.
Lionel Messi, injured, was ruled out for both games.
Early this Monday, the bulk of the delegation will be gathering to, in the afternoon, carry out the first of the four training sessions they will have before the first friendly of this tour, on Friday against El Salvador.
Will Leo say present the same?
Although the '10', who injured the hamstring in his right leg, has not yet been formally removed from the call by the AFA, the MLS did not include him among the players who leave their teams to fulfill the commitments for the FIFA date so it is presumed that he will stay in Miami to recover.
Without the captain, the ribbon will be worn by Ángel Di María or Nicolás Otamendi.
Messi's is not the only loss in the attack.
Paulo Dybala will also not be there, who suffered his fifth muscle injury so far this season.
Will Scaloni call someone else?
The decision will be announced in these hours, the first of the national team on North American soil.

The Albiceleste coach would also bet on playing one of the two matches with the base of the starting lineup and the other with alternative names to test variants.
We will have to see if he goes all out against El Salvador or if he does it on Tuesday the 26th against Costa Rica in Los Angeles.
Training this Monday afternoon will be at the Financial Stadium, the same venue where the game will be played on Friday.
