The
Argentine National Team
continues training in the United States ahead of the friendlies against
El Salvador
and
Costa Rica
.
It is a tour that has the particularity that it will be without
Lionel Messi
since the Argentine star was injured in
Inter Miami
and was out.
In turn,
Lionel Scaloni
will seek to take advantage of making room for several youth players who are taking their first steps in the Senior National Team, among which stand out
Alejandro Garnacho
, consolidated at Manchester United, and
Facundo Buonanotte
, who is doing well at Brighton, both from the Premier League.
MADNESS FOR THE SELECTION... MADNESS FOR THE DRAWING!

Garnacho, 19, made his debut on the tour of Asia and has so far played three games with Argentina, which has already managed to shield him for life, following Spain's intention to also add him to their ranks.
In the three games he accumulates only
51 minutes
but the idea is for him to have more action in the next friendlies.
A similar fate would befall Buonanotte, also 19 years old, who, like the United youth player, made his debut with the Albiceleste on the same Asian tour last March.
He has only one game so far but it was as a starter, sharing the attack with Julián Álvarez and Nicolás González.
Everything indicates that he will add minutes again in at least one of the games.
In any case, in the first game, there would be a majority of starters.
And this Tuesday,
Scaloni tried Lautaro Martínez instead of Julián Álvarez in the attack.
Or will they play together?
