Overview
- Palmeiras disclosed Tuesday that right back Agustín Giay had been added to Argentina’s March squad as an injury replacement.
- Giay takes the spot of Gonzalo Montiel after a club injury and joins his first senior camp under coach Lionel Scaloni.
- With Giay in, Palmeiras now has eight players on international duty, including Flaco López for Argentina; Gustavo Gómez, Ramón Sosa, and Mauricio for Paraguay; Piquerez and Emiliano Martínez for Uruguay; and Jhon Arias for Colombia.
- Argentina will host Mauritania on March 27 and Zambia on March 31 in Buenos Aires during the FIFA window used for roster checks before the World Cup.
