Argentina comes to this quarter-final commitment against Ecuador after closing a perfect group stage, as they won all three of their matches (Canada, Chile and Peru) to finish as leaders and did not concede any goals.
Coach Lionel Scaloni He did not reveal the team he will put out because he is waiting to see if he will be able to count on the team captain, Lionel Messiwhile he will have to decide who will occupy the left side.
The footballer of Inter Miami He suffered a strong contracture in the match against Chilifor the second date of the Group A and this marginalized him from the crossroads PeruHowever, he returned to training alongside his teammates and the coach will evaluate him until the last moment to see if he will be included among the starters.
In case the Argentine captain does not respond favorably, he will be among the substitutes (with the expectation of adding some minutes) and his place would be occupied by Angel Di Mariawho played against Peru and took the tape.
Besides, Marcos Acuna He trained differently in the last practice and his presence is in doubt, so Nicolas Tagliafico would be a starter again in place of the former Ferrowith whom he usually alternates the position.
Besides, Ecuador will seek to strike a blow and eliminate the current champion from the competition after qualifying as second in the B Group with four points after beating Jamaica, tied with Mexico and fell in the debut against the surprising Venezuela.
