LIVE: Argentina vs Chile

  • In midfield, Atletico Madrid's Augusto Fernandez is rewarded for his stellar second half of the season with just his 12th cap, where he joins the vastly experienced Javier Mascherano and Ever Banega. At the back there's no surprises as Nicolas Otamendi and Ramiro Funes Mori form a partnership, with Gabriel Mercado, their leading scorer in World Cup qualifying, and Marcos Rojo the bookends.
  • The big news for Argentina is that Lionel Messi is available tonight, but any impact he has on this match will have to come off the bench as the Barcelona forward is left out of the starting line-up with his fitness still not at 100 per cent following a knock picked up against Honduras.
