On Thursday, FIFA officially announced that the squad for the World Cup in Qatar was expanded from 23 to 26. The Ole newspaper on Friday analyzed Argentina's list, arguing that Scaloni has identified 24 players and four players will compete for the last two spots.
After winning the Copa America and the European and American Cups, Scaloni basically determined the World Cup roster. In the goalkeeper position, Scaloni will recruit 3 players, Martinez will be the main player, Armani will be the substitute, and Rulli and Musso will compete for the third goalkeeper position.
After the squad is expanded to 26ers, Scaloni may recruit nine defenders, and Voith will be the lucky one. The reason is that Voith can play as a centre-back, a right-back and even a right-winger, which gives him hope to lock in the last defensive position.
In midfield, De Paul, Paredes, Lo Celso, Guido Rodriguez and Gomez are in very solid positions, McAlist and Palacios would have competed for a list, but after the big list is expanded, both will be successfully selected.
In the front line, Messi, Di Maria, Lautaro Martinez, Alvarez, Nico Gonzalez and Joaquin Correa will certainly be selected. In the last position, Dybala is most likely to win, with Angel Correa competing with him.
List of 26 people predicted for Argentina:
Goalkeepers: Martinez, Armani, Lully (Musso)
Defenders: Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Acuña, Montille, Pezzella, Lisandro Martinez, Tagliafico, Voith
Midfielders: De Paul, Paredes, Lo Celso, Gomez, Guido Rodriguez, McArest, Palacios
Forwards: Messi, Di Maria, Lautaro Martinez, Alvarez, Nico Gonzalez, Joaquin Correa, Dybala (Angel Correa)
