11.Mauro Icardi-Forward

Even after scoring 29 Serie A goals in 34 games for Inter in the 2017/18 season, Icardi was not included in Argentina’s 23-man squad, showing the incredible attacking depth they have. Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain are the men chosen up front. There’s no doubting Icardi’s quality, but Argentina simply have so much attacking talent, they can afford to leave him out. It’s difficult to say if Messi has any influence on Sampaoli’s selection, but what is not in doubt is that their only chance of success this summer is with the Barcelona maestro in the team.
