With two friendlies at the end of September, the Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni has announced his list. The 32-man team has scheduled matches as World Cup warm-up games, both in the United States.
On September 23, Argentina fights against Honduras in Miami. Then four days later, on September 27, Argentina is at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ to take on Jamaica.
PSG superstar Leo Messi singles out a talented group of Argentines to play in both CONCACAF countries. Also included in the team is the talented quartet of Paulo Dybala, Ángel Di María, Nicolás González and Lautaro Martínez.

However, there are also some notable absences from the group. Ajax’s new winger, Lucas Ocampos, misses the call. Villarreal defender Juan Foyth and Premier League attacking duo Emiliano Buendia and Manuel Lanzini were also not named.

Group C includes Mexico, Poland, Saudi Arabia and Argentina. Below is a full list of the 32-man roster for Argentina in these friendlies:
