It would be no surprise to see Lionel Scaloni name a changed XI from the Panama win, although Messi will surely start as the PSG star seeks his 100th international goal.
21-year-old Thiago Almada is likely to be handed a start having scored off the bench the last time around, while Paulo Dybala, Lautaro Martinez, Leandro Paredes and Lisandro Martinez will be expecting to return to the starting XI.
Meanwhile, Lautaro Blanco, Facundo Buonanotte, Valentin Carboni and Maximo Perrone are all aiming for their first senior appearances with Argentina.
