Argentina’s 2018 World Cup squad: Who joins Aguero and Messi in Russia?

Jorge Sampaoli has confirmed his 23-man squad to play in Russia, with the likes of Leo and Kun leading the way for 2014's finalists

Nothing was easy for Argentina in their tortuous route to Russia 2018. Thanks to their unstoppable captain Lionel Messi, however, the 2014 finalists pulled through and will be in the running for the World Cup.

The Albiceleste went through no less than three coaches over the course of qualifying. Both Gerardo Martino and Edgardo Bauza stepped down during South America's gruelling two-year campaign, before Jorge Sampaoli eventually led them through on the very last day of the competition.
