Argentina squad including Angel Di Maria and Nicolas Otamendi gear up for World Cup qualifier against Peru

Argentina's international squad took to the practice field in Lima on Monday as they continue to prepare for their World Cup qualifier away at Peru in the early hours of Friday morning.

A plethora of Premier League stars were pictured in attendance, not least Manchester City defensive duo Pablo Zabaleta and Nicolas Otamendi.

They were joined by Paris Saint-Germain's former United attacker Angel Di Maria, and current Red Devil Marcos Rojo, along with Everton's enigmatic centre half, Ramiro Funes Mori.
