Argentina coach, Lionel Scaloni, has confirmed Sergio Aguero would start in their Copa America semi-final against Brazil on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old has been in the first XI for three of Argentina’s four games at the tournament, scoring one goal and setting up two in a front three including Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez.
Amid some doubts over the Manchester City star’s place in the starting XI for the blockbuster clash at Estadio Mineirao, Aguero’s spot was the only one Scaloni would confirm on in a press conference ahead of the match.
“What I can confirm is that Aguero is going to be a starter.
“It always comes out that the doubt is Aguero and he ends up playing.”
The Argentine boss then joked about the selection situation of Lionel Messi – with the superstar forward failing to reach top form with only one goal in his four matches.
“The rest is not confirmed, not even Messi,” Scaloni said.
