Nicolás Tagliafico has fully recovered from his muscle tear and is available for the coaching staff. However, Scaloni would keep Facundo Medina as the starting left-back, who delivered a solid performance in the debut against Algeria.

At right-back, Nahuel Molina would come in for Gonzalo Montiel, bringing more experience to a key area of the field.

Leandro Paredes, who missed the first match due to a hamstring injury suffered with Boca against Universidad Católica, trained normally and could return to the bench.

Lautaro Martínez has the advantage over Julián Álvarez to partner with Lionel Messi in the attack. Álvarez is carrying an ankle issue that would limit him somewhat, while the Bull is in optimal condition.

The midfield would maintain its structure with Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, and Thiago Almada, who delivered an outstanding performance in the debut.
