Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni has named his first squad of the post-Lionel Messi era, selecting 28 players for November international friendlies against Uruguay and Costa Rica.
The roster selection marks a definitive turning point for La Albiceleste following Messi’s international retirement. Scaloni has begun reshaping the squad for the upcoming cycle, handing a first senior call-up to Chelsea defender Aaron Anselmino alongside returns for Parma defender Mariano Troilo and River Plate’s Gonzalo Montiel.
Core veterans remain central to the transition. Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández, and Julián Álvarez have all been included in the setup. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez makes the squad despite nursing a fractured jaw sustained while playing for Chelsea, though his fitness requires evaluation ahead of kickoff.
