The Argentina national football team returned to training after their victory over Algeria, with Gonzalo Montiel training normally. The River Plate full-back had started practicing in the gym a day earlier, but this time he joined his teammates from the start. Nicolás Tagliafico and Giuliano Simeone were the first outfield players to activate, while Lionel Messi jumped alongside Leandro Paredes, Giovanni Lo Celso, Cristian Romero, and Rodrigo de Paul. The called-up goalkeepers, Emiliano Martínez, Gerónimo Rulli, and Juan Musso, worked in another sector alongside the young Santiago Beltrán. The Albiceleste faces Austria on Monday in Arlington, Texas, at 14:00 Paraguay time. Gonzalo Montiel could play against Austria, although it is not yet known if Scaloni will bet on him or Nahuel Molina. In the victory over Algeria, Montiel was a starter and the Atlético de Madrid defender replaced him at the start of the second half. The Argentina national football team must also decide whether to keep Lautaro Martínez in the starting eleven or if Julián Álvarez will be a starter after having added 35 minutes in the debut. Emiliano Martínez; Gonzalo Montiel, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martínez, Facundo Medina; Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, Thiago Almada; Lionel Messi, and Lautaro Martínez were chosen for the debut, while Nahuel Molina, Julián Álvarez, Nicolás González, Nicolás Otamendi, and Nico Paz entered during the match. Tagliafico, who did not add minutes, worked in the last days alongside his teammates on the field. The Argentina national football team is looking to continue adding points in the 2026 World Cup.
