However, except for Giovani Lo Celso, Lionel Scaloni included the rest of the four players in the final squad. Lo Celso underwent an operation for a muscle injury, so Scaloni had no other choice but to exclude him from the roster. Exequiel Palacios has been included in place of the injured Lo Celso. Scaloni has taken a bit of a risk by picking Paulo Dybala and Juan Foyth for the tournament, as both are yet to reach their full fitness.
