Taken from an article in today's Ole, an Argentine sports daily:

Garcé and Gabriel Milito return from suspension and are expected to take the places of Ponzio and Gonzalo Rodríguez.

It is expected that Bielsa will maintain more or less the same team that faced Honduras and Mexico.

There are still 5 players that haven't seen a minute of playing time yet: Caballero, Mascherano, Pusineri, Romagnoli, and Rivas.

Yesterday they played a training match (25 minutes per half) against Fernando Clavijo's Uruguay Soccer Club. The lineup was like so:

Caballero; Garcé, Gabriel Milito, Clemente Rodríguez; Pusineri, Mascherano, Romagnoli; Rivas and Carignano

Argentina won 4-1 with goals from Rivas, Clemente, and Carignano (with 2)

Bielsa angered many of his supporters by keeping yesterday's training closed to fans.

Romagnoli is a must for this game... He will take the US over by storm!!! D' Alessandro and Leandro on the field together would give Andres more room to move... Since D'Alessandro is more like a Donadoni than a Maradona!
