FIFA World Cup Qualifying
Peru vs Argentina
19:30 ET

Early in the day, Ricardo Gareca rehearsed at La Videna with another defense, who is supposed to be the one who takes the field at the National Stadium. Aldo Corzo entered as a right back in place of Luis Advíncula, while Anderson Santamaría shared behind with Luis Abram and replaced Miguel Araujo. Thus, Peru would have four changes in relation to the starting formation that lost 2-0 in Santiago de Chile against the trans-Andean team last week.

 Scaloni will not be able to repeat Thursday's training due to the loss of midfielder Exequiel Palacios, with a transverse process fracture in his lumbar spine due to a hard tackle by Paraguayan Ángel Romero. In his place will enter the Rosario Giovani Lo Celso, who replaced him in the first half of the match with the selected "Guaraní".

The second variant in the Argentine team could occur on the defensive line after the return of Nicolás Tagliafico, recovered from a discomfort in the left hamstrings. With the return of the Ajax footballer from Amsterdam, Nicolás González -author of the goal against Paraguay- or Lucas Ocampos, two footballers on the left wing, will leave the team.
