Argentina, the defending champions, are preparing to face Egypt in the World Cup Round of 16, with coach Lionel Scaloni considering up to three changes in the starting lineup. According to Argentine outlet TyC Sports, adjustments may occur in defense, midfield, and attack. After a dramatic 3-2 extra-time win over Cape Verde, Argentina’s training was canceled due to a storm, shifting full focus to Tuesday’s knockout match.
The main debate centers on who will partner Lionel Messi in attack—Lautaro Martínez or Julián Álvarez. Álvarez, recovering from a pre-tournament ankle injury, is not yet fully fit, while Martínez struggled to make an impact against Cape Verde. In defense, Nicolás Tagliafico could replace Facundo Medina, who suffered cramps in the previous match. In midfield, either Leandro Paredes or Nicolás González may come in, possibly at the expense of Thiago Almada.
Scaloni is known for tactical surprises, but the core structure from the Cape Verde match is expected to remain, with any changes likely limited to strategic adjustments.
