The ‘white and blue’ The team has just been proclaimed champion of the 2024 Copa América. In the final, they beat Colombia by the minimum difference with a goal from Lautaro Martínez.

Added to this is the undefeated record of 11 matches without losing and they are the leaders of the qualifying process with 15 points.
However, the ‘gauchos’ They will not have their entire squad. This is because Lionel Messi and Nicolás Tagliafico suffer from physical problems, while Angel Di Maria He retired after the continental tournament held in the United States.
For this meeting, the coach of ArgentinaLionel Scaloni, will not have Inter Miami’s ’10’, but he will have Matías Soulé and Paulo Dybala as possible options to replace him. The latter returns to the squad after his absence in the Copa América. Valentín Carboni appears as another possibility.
On the other hand, the Chilean national team is not going through a positive present. In the Conmebol competition, they did not get past the group stage and were unable to score a single goal.
Ricardo GarecaDT of the ‘roja’will have a headache putting together his starting eleven, considering the injuries of Igor Lichnovsky, Erick Pulgar, Diego Valdés, Alexis Sanchez and Bruno Barticciotto. Claudio Bravo retired from football, Gabriel Suazo is carrying a suspension and Ben Brereton is in doubt. Added to this are the non-calls of Arturo Vidal y Gary Medeltwo of the great references of the ‘golden generation’.
