BANEGA AND MERCADO CALLED UP TO ARGENTINA SQUAD FOR FRIENDLIES AGAINST ITALY AND SPAIN

Gabriel Mercado and Ever Banega have been called up once again for Argentina. Jorge Sampaoli published his squad-list for friendlies against Italy and Spain with preparation for the World Cup in Russia in mind.

The fixtures will take place in Semana Santa, just after Montella's side travels to face CD Leganés away from home and just before they host FC Barcelona in the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on the first day of April.
