Argentina national football coach Lionel Scaloni has announced his roster for the upcoming Copa America, which will be led by Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero.
Aguero also made the Argentina squad for the first time under Scaloni. Although Angel Di Maria's name was also called for the national team but he is unlikely to play due to injury.
River Plate's defender Milton Casco was named for the national team for the first time. Surprisingly, Scaloni ruled out Gabriel Mercado and Mauro Icardi, who have been called up regularly.
Argentina is set to start its 2019 Copa America campaign against Colombia on June 15 and then will play Paraguay four days later and wrap up the Group Stage against Qatar.
