Argentina
closes the tour of the United States, the last test before the squads for the 2024 Copa América in that same country are defined.
The rival is
Costa Rica
, which qualified for the national team tournament over the weekend, and will face the Albiceleste in a friendly at the
United Airlines Field at the Memorial Coliseum,
located in Los Angeles.
The match is televised by
Public TV
and
TyC Sports
.
Coach Lionel Scaloni will repeat several of the starters who beat El Salvador 3 to 0. But there will also be tests such as goalkeeper
Walter Benítez
, replacement for
Emiliano Dibu Martínez
, and forward
Alejandro Garnacho
.
The surprise would be the absence of
Leandro Paredes
, who was going to start in the starting eleven but would finally be part of the substitute bench.
Given the rest of Lionel Messi due to his hamstring injury, Argentina's attack would have Lautaro Martínez, captain Angel Di María and Garnacho this Tuesday.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, the helmsman could start with defenders Nahuel Molina and Nicolás Otamendi and midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, in addition to reserving the leading edge of attack for Julián Álvarez, without ruling out giving his first minutes to goalkeeper Walter Benítez.
The 'Ticos', led by Argentine Gustavo Alfaro, are captained by
Keylor Navas
and earned the right to play in their sixth Copa América with a 3-1 victory against
Honduras
in a playoff match played in Frisco (Texas, United States) , last Saturday.
Canada
emerged the winner from the other repechage
, and will be Argentina's rival in the opening match of the championship.
