Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni believes Lautaro Martinez and Paulo Dybala are the future of the national team ahead of Wednesday’s friendly with Germany.
Scaloni confirmed his starting line-up for the international in Dortmund and named the pair to start up front in the absence of Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and a host of players from River Plate and Bocas Juniors, who have been withdrawn due to Copa Libertadores commitments later this month.
The 41-year-old is looking to integrate fresh names into the team ahead of back-to-back Copa America’s and the start of 2022 World Cup qualifying next year.
