Lionel Scaloni provided a pre-list with 35 summoned for the “Finalissima” against Italy

Through the official social networks of the Argentine team, Lionel Scaloni revealed a pre-list with 35 players for the “Finalissima” against Italy. Likewise, it is expected that they can announce another friendly preparation for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The main novelty revolves around Marcos Senesi, who could also be summoned by Italy. It should be noted that the final list will be known this weekend.

Although the final list will be known over the weekend, there are some surprises in this initial list. Mainly, the appearance of Marcos Senesi, the 25-year-old Feyenoord defender, just as his name was appearing as a possibility for the Italian team.

The controversy has occurred because for a few months it has been known that Roberto Mancini, coach of Italy, has him in the folder to join the European team. However, the final call will be revealed on the 26th of this month. Scaloni has gone ahead and is likely to end up quoting him, forcing him to choose between the two countries.

In Argentina they have it well referenced. With a past in San Lorenzo, he has integrated pre-lists for the senior team and was close to integrating the Olympic team; however, it could not be because Feyenoord did not give him the authorization.

Scaloni has almost everything defined

Looking ahead to the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the strategist of the Argentine team seems to have almost everything defined. In this payroll, except for Senesi, there are no big news. They are the same squad that he has used during the last matches in the Qualifiers. Only the return of Paulo Dybala and the bets on Lucas Alario and Nicolás Domínguez stand out.
