Argentina national coach Lionel Scaloni has had to replace the ‘irreplaceable’ Giovani Lo Celso due to a hamstring injury. Lionel Messi will therefore have to miss one of his bodyguards, but with Rodrigo De Paul and Leandro Paredes he will also feel safe. Here’s an overview of Argentina’s squad for the World Cup in Qatar.
