Nigeria’s World Cup group opponent, Argentina, have named their 23-man squad for the tournament with Lionel Messi headlining Jorge Sampaoli’s list.
The Argentina FA published the list on its website and Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi was a notable exclusion.
Super Eagles and La Albiceleste will clash on 26 June at the Krestovsky Stadium, Saint Petersburg in a game that could likely see Chelsea teammates Victor Moses and Willy Caballero go head to head.
