Inter Milan Duo Pushing For Starting Berths For Argentina In Copa America Clash Vs Peru

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez should be in the starting lineup when Argentina takes on Peru tomorrow, while Valentin Carboni could join him.

The reigning World Champions have already won their first two group-stage fixtures in the Copa America. They beat Canada by two unanswered goals, and then Chile 1-0.

For his part, Lautaro has started on the bench on both occasions. Yet, he has been decisive in his second-half cameos, scoring twice in the 88th minute, including the winner against Chile.

Therefore, TYC Sports (via FcInterNews) expects the Nerazzurri skipper to lead the line for the defending champions when they take on Peru in their final group-stage match.

The Albiceleste have already secured qualification to the quarter-finals. Hence, Lionel Scaloni will be ringing the changes.

The Argentines will be without their captain and talisman Leo Messi. But Angel Di Maria will return to the starting lineup to support Lautaro.

Lautaro Martinez & Valentin Carboni Could Both Start For Argentina Vs Peru

Moreover, the third spot in the attacking trident remains up for grabs. As the source reveals, Inter youngster Valentin Carboni is hoping to clinch it, but he’ll have to overcome competition from Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez will maintain his spot in the middle of the park. Exequiel Palacios should also join him, while Leandro Paredes and Giovanni Lo Celso are vying for the deep-lying playmaker role.

The source tips Emiliano Martinez to keep his spot between the sticks, but with different personnel at the back.

Argentina Probable XI (4-3-3): Emiliano Martinez; Montiel, Pezzella, Otamendi, Tagliafico; Enzo Fernandez, Leandro Paredes/Lo Celso, Palacios; Di María, Lautaro Martinez, Garnacho/Valentín Carboni.
