Inter striker Lautaro Martinez is set to be included in the Argentine national team’s starting eleven for their friendly match against Jamaica tomorrow night.

This according to Argentine broadcaster TyC Sports, who report that the 25-year-old will keep his place in Albiceleste coach Lionel Scaloni’s team selection for their second match of the international break.

Martinez started for Argentina in their 3-0 win over Honduras on Friday night, opening the scoring for the Albiceleste.

The Nerazzurri striker is considered to be the first choice leading the line for his national team, who are putting the finishing touches on their preparations for the World Cup in November.

Accordingly, coach Scaloni will hand the 25-year-old another start against Jamaica as he looks to get his team fully up to speed in their final match before the World Cup.

TyC Sports’s complete predicted lineup for the match is as follows:

Argentina (4-3-3): Emiliano Martinez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Acuña; De Paul, Paredes, Lo Celso; Messi, Lautaro, Di Maria.
