Argentina will face Angola this Friday with several key absences.
In addition to the squad rotation, head coach Lionel Scaloni did not call up three key figures from the 'Scaloneta': Gonzalo Montiel, Marcos Acuña, and Leandro Paredes.
According to Noticias Argentinas, the absence of the three players is due to an agreement not to interfere in the definition of the Clausura Tournament.
In the case of the midfielder, the decision allows Boca Juniors to have Leandro Paredes available for the decisive matches of the domestic championship.
Similarly, the full-backs Montiel and Acuña were excluded from the squad for the same reason.
The absence of these players opens the possibility for other players to earn a spot in the defense for the upcoming commitments.
