Argentina are comfortably leading the CONMEBOL standings, five points behind Uruguay in third place. This match could be a crucial one in shaping the road ahead in the qualifiers.<\/p><p>Especially considering, only a few days later, Argentina will face Brazil who have occupied the second place in the rankings after their latest 2-1 win against Colombia. Hence, Las Albicelestes will be determined to get a win. However, considering they have a large number of key players missing, it won&rsquo;t come easy.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Selecci%C3%B3nMayor?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#Selecci&oacute;nMayor<\/a> &iexcl;&Uacute;ltimo entrenamiento!<br><br>Nos vemos en Uruguay &#128521; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/opQ41UqrMb\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/opQ41UqrMb<\/a><\/p>&mdash; &#127462;&#127479; Selecci&oacute;n Argentina &#11088;&#11088;&#11088; (@Argentina) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Argentina\/status\/1902825053374288283?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 20, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Argentina will be without Lautaro Martinez, Paulo Dybala, Giovani Lo Celso, and even their captain Lionel Messi.
