Maradona and almost definitive list

In view of the friendly against Germany, perhaps the most significant rival since Diego Maradona coached Argentina, confirmed the squad that will be part of this comparison.

This call is important because the 20 players making up the payroll would be virtually one set at the 23 World Cup. Surprisingly the absence of Ever Banega, who was speculation would be heading after the DT will lower the thumb to Fernando Gago. Among those active in local football, are Clemente Rodriguez, Otamendi and Veron, and strange absence Palermo (who supposedly has 80% of the passage to South Africa).

That said, the list for the friendly on 3 March in Berlin, is the following:

Goalkeepers: Mariano Andujar, Sergio Romero
Defenders: Martin Demichelis, Walter Samuel, Nicolas Otamendi, Clemente Rodriguez, Nicolas Burdisso, Gabriel Heinze
Midfielders: Javier Mascherano, Jonas Gutierrez, Angel Di Maria, Juan Sebastián Verón, Mario Bolatti, Jesus Datolo, Javier Pastore
Forwards: Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Agüero, Diego Milito
