In the case of Argentina, Mascherano has already been invited Lionel Messi AND Angelo Di Mariawho rejected the proposal because after the Copa América he will retire from the national team.
Other players who have publicly announced that they would like to be part of the squad are Nicola Otamendi, Rodrigo DePaul AND Nicola Tagliafico. However, as this is a tournament not organized by FIFA, clubs are not obliged to release their players. This fact complicates the participation of some world champions after the Copa América, which will take place from 20 June to 14 July.
In the lottery, Argentina is in tier 1 with the landlady France AND the two best Asian teams, which will be defined on May 3 at the end of the Asian Cup. The Albiceleste will then meet the teams that make up groups 2, 3 and 4 in their own area.
