Latest reports from Argentina would suggest that Inter captain, Mauro Icardi is favourite to start for the Albiceleste in their crucial world cup qualifying match against Peru this week.
In training, – it reads on ellitoral.com – the Argentina manager, Jorge Sampaoli started with Icardi up front which would suggest at the moment he is slightly ahead of Benedetto in the race to start the game at the centre of a 3 man attack alongside Angel Di Maria & Lionel Messi. This is another massive show of how highly Sampaoli rates the Inter forward at the moment who has been selected in favour of Juventus’ Gonzalo Higuain most recently since he took charge of the national team. Now it seems he has put his faith in the Inter Captain to spearhead his attack in the crucial game in front of what promises top be a very heated atmosphere at the iconic Bombonera Stadium in Buenos Aires.
