Alejandro Papu Gomez is rumored to be starting in Argentina against Bolivia on Thursday for a World Cup qualifier 2022.

Papu Gomez could start in Argentina in place of Gio Lo Celso who has been dropped from the squad. As we reported on Tuesday, all 4 Argentine players from the Premier League have left the club and this means there will be changes to XI from the previous game.

In the absence of Emiliano Martinez, Cristian Romero, and Gio Lo Celso, coach Lionel Scaloni is reportedly set to accompany Juan Musso, German Pezzella, and Papu Gomez or Nicolas Gonzalez. According to an ESPN report, here are 11 rumors:

Goalkeeper: Juan Musso;
Defender: Acuña, Pezzella, Otamendi, Montiel;
Midfielder: Papu Gomez or Gonzalez, Paredes, De Paul, Di Maria;
Forward: Messi and Lautaro Martinez.
