Argentina named the same team yet again that beat Poland in the group stage for Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final against Switzerland. Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez started in that win, reinforcing their importance.
A row between Álvarez and Atlético Madrid might reach settlement in talks led by Sergio Agüero. The negotiations have been ongoing. Barcelona hopes to have Álvarez back while Manchester City and Tottenham both have moves on the table. City is looking at a loan option, Tottenham is eyeing a permanent deal instead of a loan. The extra offers stir speculation before the game.
