Mauro Icardi and Paulo Dybala are expected to start together for Argentina in a friendly against Colombia.

The Inter striker arrived at the training camp carrying a muscular problem, whereas the Juventus star was late due to personal matters, reportedly so he could testify in the contract dispute against his former agent.

Coach Lionel Scaloni plans eight changes from the starting XI that beat Guatemala, a game where Fiorentina forward Giovanni Simeone scored on his senior Argentina debut.

Mauro Icardi and Paulo Dybala are expected to start together for Argentina in a friendly against Colombia.

The Inter striker arrived at the training camp carrying a muscular problem, whereas the Juventus star was late due to personal matters, reportedly so he could testify in the contract dispute against his former agent.

Coach Lionel Scaloni plans eight changes from the starting XI that beat Guatemala, a game where Fiorentina forward Giovanni Simeone scored on his senior Argentina debut.

That match used the 4-3-3 formation, but a 4-2-3-1 is expected with Colombia in New York.

Another Serie A figure in the line-up should be Fiorentina defender German Pezzella.

Icardi has only four caps for Argentina, one of them in 2013 and the rest in 2017, but was left out of the World Cup squad.

He has made just two starts, in World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Venezuela in September 2017, and is yet to score.

Argentina (probable): Armani; Bustos, Pezzella, Funes Mori, Acuna; Battaglia, Paredes; Meza, Dybala, Cervi; Icardi
