New call-up for the Argentina National Team: renewal and surprises

Scaloni is working on an extensive list for the upcoming international matches, with new names and absences due to sanctions, marking the beginning of a renewal stage in the team.

Preparations for the new era

Scaloni is planning the first call-up for the Argentine National Team after the 2026 World Cup, with the possibility of playing several matches in September and October. The list promises to be broad, including new faces and players from River Plate.

Possible surprises in the call-up

Emiliano Buendía, Leonardo Balerdi, and Santiago Castro are the names being considered as novelties in Scaloni's list. Buendía could make a return, Balerdi is seeking an opportunity after an injury, and Castro could debut in the senior team. The renovation is also noticeable in defense, with Balerdi as a possible key player in the future of the national team.

Expectations and notable absences

The potential call-up of players like Dibu Martínez and Rodrigo De Paul contrasts with the absences of Leandro Paredes and Nahuel Molina due to suspension. Cuti Romero emerges as a leader following Lionel Messi's retirement, who is unlikely to be present in this FIFA date. The future of the star and Scaloni is still to be defined, with the coach's continuity being negotiated with the AFA.
