Argentina is gearing up for significant changes ahead of their first knockout match.
Details: According to journalist Gastón Edul, the Argentina national team will make three changes to their lineup for the World Cup round of 16 encounter against Egypt.
The headline change comes up front: Julián Álvarez will replace Lautaro Martínez. In midfield, Leandro Paredes is set to start instead of Thiago Almada.
There's also a shake-up in defense. Nico Tagliafico will take the place of Facundo Medina.
