&#8216;Diablito&#8217; Echeverri and Parma midfielder Mateo Pellegrino.<\/p>\n<p>Another name that stands out in Scaloni&#8217;s pre-list is Gianluca Prestianni, although in this case not because of his inexperience in the &#8216;Albiceleste&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>But for the two-match suspension he will have to serve in the World Cup -if he is called up-, as a result of an insult to Brazilian Vin\u00edcius Junior during a Champions League match between Benfica and Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<h2>Scaloni bets on new figures<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_170236\"

Madrid and <strong>Alejandro Garnacho<\/strong> of Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest question marks, however, are in the defensive zone.<\/p>\n<p>Scaloni still has to consolidate alternatives at both fullbacks and at the back.<\/p>\n<p>This explains the large number of players in that area of the field included in Argentina&#8217;s pre-list for the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina will play the
