The biggest surprise was the exclusion of two promising young players, Franco Mastantuono (Real Madrid) and Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea), along with veteran full-back Marcos Acuna.
Led by captain Lionel Messi, Argentina will travel to the United States, Mexico, and Canada with the goal of defending their World Cup title.
Coach Scaloni has retained the core of the team that won the title four years ago, combining experience and youth, with 17 players who were part of the squad that triumphed in Qatar.
At 39 years old, Messi remains the most important player, driving Argentina's ambitions at this World Cup.
The veteran captain wants to write another chapter in his illustrious career, which includes winning the 2022 World Cup, two Copa América titles, and countless records with the Albicelestes.
Alongside Messi, key players such as goalkeeper Dibu Martínez, Rodrigo De Paul, Cristian Romero, Lautaro Martínez, and Julián Álvarez will continue to make Argentina a strong contender for the 2026 World Cup title.
Previously, there were concerns about injuries to Messi, Dibu Martinez, and Romero. However, all three have recovered well and are ready to play next month.
Rodrigo De Paul, Messi's teammate at Inter Miami, is also included in the squad. The combination of De Paul and Alexis Mac Allister in the central midfield will provide the foundation for Messi to continue to shine.
Lionel Messi's goal-scoring duties are also shared among Argentina's talented attacking lineup, including Julian Alvaraz, Nicolas Paz, Giuliano Simeone, and Lautaro Martinez.
