Aguero dropped by severely depleted Argentina

Gonzalo Higuain is one of four Albiceleste players suspended for the trip to La Paz but there is still no starting place for El Kun

Argentina head coach Edgardo Bauza has dropped Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero among seven changes for Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Bolivia.

Sao Paulo striker Lucas Pratto will partner captain Lionel Messi in attack, with Juventus' Gonzalo Higuain one of four players suspended after collecting a yellow card during last week's 1-0 win over Chile.

Centre-back Nicolas Otamendi and midfielders Javier Mascherano and Lucas Biglia suffered a similar fate to Higuain, while full-backs Gabriel Mercado and Emmanuel Mas sustained respective hamstring and knee injuries.
