The team led by Lionel Scaloni will work from 12 (Argentine time) and it is probable that the coach will try some of the changes that the Albiceleste could undergo with respect to the surprise defeat against Saudi Arabia in their debut.
Meanwhile, on Friday, the coach and a player from the squad will speak to the press in a conference scheduled for 9:30 and will return to training from 12, always taking into account the time of our country.
Valderrama expressed his opinion on the national team: “As long as I live, Argentina is a candidate”
