Argentina named the same team again which defeated Poland in the group stage for Saturday’s global tournament match against Switzerland. Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez started in that win, reinforcing their importance.
A row between Álvarez and Atlético Madrid could find resolution in talks mediated by Sergio Agüero. The negotiations have been ongoing. Barcelona hopes to have Álvarez back while Manchester City and Tottenham both have moves on the table. City is looking at a loan possibility, Tottenham is eyeing a permanent deal as a lasting transfer. The extra offers fuel talk before the game.
