Argentina, still without the injured Lionel Messi and goalless in their opening two 2018 World Cup qualifiers, recalled striker Gonzalo Higuain yesterday for next month’s games against Brazil and Colombia.
Coach Gerardo Martino dropped the Napoli marksman earlier in October for the South American group matches from which Argentina took one point after a shock 2-0 home defeat by Ecuador followed by a 0-0 draw in Paraguay.
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero was missing from the squad because he is still recovering from a leg injury.
Carlos Tevez, looking for his first international goal in four years, is retained as back-up while Juventus’ Paulo Dybala, who won his first cap as a substitute in the draw in Asuncion, has also been included.
