The Argentina national team gathered at the Kansas City training complex as Lionel Scaloni revealed his first starting eleven ahead of the upcoming friendly. Lionel Messi, Emiliano Martínez and several core players were kept out of full‑contact drills, while the coaching staff ran a 40‑minute tactical scrimmage.
In a surprising move, Nicolás Capaldo was fielded at right‑back despite not being on the official 26‑man World Cup roster, serving as a reserve option. With Gonzalo Montiel sidelined by a severe injury, Capaldo and Agustín Giay now have a slim chance to break into the final tournament squad.
The session highlights Argentina’s effort to broaden its options before the 2026 World Cup.
