Lionel Messi will miss the start of Argentina's World Cup qualifying campaign, so Sergio Aguero will wear his famous number instead.
Sergio Aguero has confirmed that he will wear the No. 10 shirt usually donned by Lionel Messi when Argentina faces Ecuador on Thursday.
The Barcelona star has worn the iconic number for the majority of his career at both club and international level.
However, the jersey will be sported by the Manchester City forward when Argentina begins its World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign with fixtures at home to Ecuador and away to Paraguay.
"I spoke to the kit man and he told me it is obligatory - someone has to use it because the numbers go from one to 23," Aguero told La Nacion.
