5 players who might not make Argentina's World Cup squad

United States v Argentina: Semifinal - Copa America Centenario
Lavezzi might not make Sampaoli's squad

#1 Mauro Icardi

FC Internazionale Milano v Carpi FC - Serie A
Icardi in action for Internazionale Milano

24-year-old Inter Milan captain and striker, Mauro Icardi is another huge player who might not make the World Cup squad. Despite consistent performances and a potent goalscoring threat in every game leading the line for Inter, Icardi might be left out of the squad.

Argentina has a strong striking department with the likes of Messi, Dybala, Higuain and Aguero all in contention to spearhead the line.

Icardi has performed magnificently for Inter since his move from Sampdoria in 2013 and has eagerly awaited his turn to represent his country. It might be a little while longer for the young striker as the competition for places intensifies with the World Cup drawing nearer.

The aggressive striker, Icardi, known for his supreme goalscoring prowess is a huge attraction that might not make the Argentinian team for this summer's World Cup. Sampaoli will have a difficult time selecting his attacking options with the number of top quality players he has at his disposal to choose from.
