Jorge Sampaoli named his 22-man squad for two upcoming friendlies and while the Argentina coach admits his World Cup plans are not 100% complete, there are a few local players that he may take a closer look at this month
Lautaro Martínez
Racing Club’s prolific centre-forward is causing all the buzz right now and rightly so as Jorge Sampaoli has already witnessed two hat-tricks from his now regular position at the Cilindro in the past month.
Quick, strong and capable of scoring all sorts of goals, Lautaro Martínez is destined for big things and after stepping up at every level with Racing, looks poised for his international bow. El Toro is also close to making a switch to Inter, could he be replacing Mauro Icardi after nicking his place in the squad?
