FIFA World Cup Russia 2018

The FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 is getting closer and Sampaoli is starting to finalize details in the Argentine National Team. Thinking about the final list of 23 players, the coach of the Albiceleste would have considered calling up none other than Carlos Tevez, according to Luciana Rubinka from 'FOX Sports'.

Rubinska pointed out that one of her sources asked the press not to rule out Carlos Tevez for the World Cup. In recent weeks, his level has risen and he has a chance to be part of the Argentine squad that will seek the tricampeonato in Russia.

"Recently, I met again with a person who inspires me a lot of confidence and he said to me: 'Write down Carlos Tevez because he has great chances of going to the World Cup'," said the journalist from FOX Sports in astonishment.

According to her source, he later added: "Don't rule out Carlos Tevez who scores two or three goals in an important match for Boca and is a player that many want to see in the World Cup". Such a bet by Sampaoli would take space away from another scorer in the Argentine national team: Lautaro Martínez from Racing Club.

It is important to remember that the Argentine national football team is stuck in Group D of the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 along with Iceland, Croatia, and Nigeria. It is expected that the Albiceleste will qualify first in the group and could even face Peru in the Round of 16 if they qualify second.
