Lautaro Martinez Is Ready To Partner With Lionel Messi In The Paraguay Vs Argentina Match
JAKARTA - Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez is expected to start for Argentina's national team in their World Cup qualifier against Paraguay on Friday morning Indonesian time.
According to Argentinian media TyC Sports, the 24-year-old is likely to be part of Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni's starting XI for the match.
Meanwhile, Lautaro's Nerazzurri partner Joaquin Correa will sit on the bench.
