Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni is set to make changes for the team with reports of some of the names which could start.

Lionel Scaloni is expected to make at least two changes for Argentina with three of them being substitutions which we saw against Saudi Arabia. Cristian Cuti Romero was substituted out for Argentina vs. Saudi Arabia and replaced with Lisandro Martínez. According to Diario Olé, Lisandro could start in place of Romero vs. Mexico on Saturday.

The two fullbacks for Argentina were Nicolás Tagliafico and Nahuel Molina. Scaloni could change one of them or both of them with Gonzalo Montiel or Marcos Acuña starting.

Papu Gómez started in midfield with Rodrigo De Paul and Leandro Paredes. For the game against Mexico, one of Enzo Fernández or Alexis Mac Allister will start in place of Papu in midfield. If those four changes would be made, the starting eleven would be the following:

Emiliano Dibu Martínez; Acuña, Lisandro Martínez, Otamendi, Montiel; Enzo or Mac Allister, Paredes, De Paul; Di María, Lautaro, Messi
