The Argentina national football team trained at the Compass Minerals National Performance Center in Kansas, two days before their match against Austria in the second round of Group J of the World Cup. Lionel Scaloni will finalize the details of the starting lineup that will take to the field on Monday at 14:00 in Dallas. The focus was on the evolution of Gonzalo Montiel, who trained alongside his teammates and could be on the bench. Today's practice was behind closed doors, unlike the last few days. With Montiel's injury, which cleared up one of the uncertainties, Scaloni has two doubts about the team that started in the debut against Algeria. Thiago Almada could give way to Nicolás González, a much more explosive player to take advantage of the spaces that, a priori, would leave a selection that presses very high. The other modification would be in the center of the attack: Julián Álvarez has a chance to take Lautaro Martínez's place. The River lateral trained with boots and on the field during the entire practice, unlike Friday, when he had done the first part with his teammates and then worked individually. Due to the mildness of his injury, he will be part of the substitutes' bench and could even add minutes against the European team. The rest of the starting lineup would be the same that won 3-0 against Algeria in the debut. Emiliano Martínez would remain in goal; Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martínez, and Facundo Medina would be the other three members of the defense; in the midfield, Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernández, and Alexis Mac Allister seem immovable; while Lionel Messi will be a starter again in search of continuing to break records in this World Cup. If in Saturday's training they continue with the evolution shown so far, Leandro Paredes and Nicolás Tagliafico could add minutes for the first time in this World Cup. The Argentina national football team is looking to continue adding points in Group J and consolidate its position in the standings. The match against Austria will be an important challenge for Scaloni's team, which seeks to demonstrate its ability to compete with the best teams in the world. The pressure on the team is high, but the players are confident in their chances of advancing in the tournament. The Argentina national football team has a long way to go, but with Scaloni's guidance and the determination of the players, they can achieve great things in the 2026 World Cup.
