  • WHAT ROCCUZZO SAID

    Writing on Instagram, Roccuzzo said: "I love you baby. One more together. Let's go Argentina."

  • THE GOSSIP

    Roccuzzo has been present at both Argentina games thus far, also watching on as the reigning world champions beat Canada 2-0 in their opener. Now, manager Lionel Scaloni is likely to rotate against Peru. As such, Messi may well be on the bench for the final game of the group to keep him fresh for the knockout rounds.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Argentina face Peru on Sunday. There is some danger to come with that game, as Peru are still mathematically in with a shout of qualification to the knockout stage, although they would need to win.
