Inter strikers Mauro Icardi and Lautaro Martinez are in the Argentina squad along with Giovanni Simeone and Paulo Dybala.

They will face Guatemala and Colombia in pre-season friendlies.

The Seleccion has been announced by Interim Coach Lionel Scaloni, breaking with his predecessors.

Icardi was famously snubbed for the World Cup in Russia, despite being Capocannoniere of Serie A last season.

He is now forming a new partnership with 20-year-old Lautaro Martinez at San Siro and they could well play together for their country too.
