Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni has unveiled his first squad since Lionel Messi retired from international football last month.
Recall that Messi ended his Argentina career after scoring his last goal for his country against the Benin Republic in an international friendly encounter.
However, in the latest Argentina squad released, Scaloni opted to include Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez and Lisandro Martinez in the list.
He didn't include Cristian Romero in the squad due to a reported injury.
Scaloni's side will tackle Uruguay next week before facing Costa Rica four days later.
Argentina's latest squad:
Emiliano Martinez, Geronimo Rulli, Juan Musso, Santiago Beltran, Gonzalo Montiel, Agustin Giay, Aaron Anselmino, Mariano Troilo, Leonardo Balerdi, Lisandro Martinez, Facundo Medina, Nicolas Tagliafico, Roman Vega, Ezequiel Fernandez, Maximo Perrone, Exequiel Palacios, Valentin Barco, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez, Nico Paz, Matias Soule, Franco Mastantuono, Giuliano Simeone, Gianluca Prestianni, Thiago Almada, Jose Manuel Lopez, Santiago Gomez and Julian Alvarez.
