Tycsports: Argentina to make 3 changes to their starting lineup against Egypt.

According to Tycsports, Scaloni has finalized Argentina's starting lineup for the match against Egypt, making three changes.

Argentina is preparing to face Egypt in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup. Scaloni has finalized the squad and will make three changes.

After a hard-fought victory against Cape Verde, Argentina will face Egypt in the Round of 16 of the World Cup, striving to advance further. The match will take place at 0:00 Beijing time on Wednesday at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Atlanta. Scaloni has confirmed the starting lineup and will make three changes. At the pre-match press conference, Scaloni did not announce the starting eleven but acknowledged that the information held by the media was accurate.

Scaloni stated, "I already have the starting lineup, but I haven't told the players yet, so I won't tell you either. However, you probably already know the direction. Nico, who is also the communications director of the Argentine Football Association, Novello, will tell me what you are discussing. That's about it."

Nevertheless, according to Tycsports, Scaloni has resolved several questions. First, Tagliafico will return to the starting lineup, replacing Facundo Medina. Tagliafico plays for Lyon, and Facundo Medina retained his position during his previous injury recovery, but he suffered cramps at the end of the last match.

In attack, Lautaro Martinez, who started in the first four matches, will give way to Julian Álvarez. Lautaro scored a penalty against Jordan, but he performed poorly in the round of 32, so this time Julian Álvarez will get his chance.

The third adjustment came in midfield, a consequence of the team's poor performance against Cape Verde. Paredes performed well after coming on as a substitute and will start. His addition will change the midfield structure, with Thiago Almada leaving the starting lineup. This means Paredes, who plays for Boca Juniors, will play as a central midfielder, a role previously held by McAllister, who will have more space to orchestrate attacks alongside Enzo Fernandez.

Argentina's starting lineup for the 2026 World Cup match against Egypt:

Emiliano Martinez; Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez, Tagliafico; De Paul, McAllister, Enzo Fernandez, Paredes; Messi, Julian Alvarez.
