Who is getting Messi's 10 and Di Maria's jersey number 11 in the Argentina team?

Before this new start, Argentina coach Scaloni has to answer one question - who will wear the number 10 and 11 jerseys in the absence of Messi and Di Maria? Through this question, we are actually trying to know who is currently being considered as the successor of Messi and Di Maria in the Argentina team.

A fresh start—that's the case for Lionel Scaloni's Argentina side. Argentina will face Chile in the 2026 World Cup Qualifier tomorrow at 6 AM Bangladesh time at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires.

Just another World Cup qualifying match, Argentina's position in the qualifiers is pretty good too. Scaloni's team is at the top of the South American region with 15 points from 5 wins in 6 matches. So why is it being called a new beginning?

Captain Lionel Messi and one of the best stars Angel Di Maria are not in the Argentina team in this match. Di Maria bid farewell to international football as previously announced after winning the Copa America final. And Messi is not playing because of injury. However, it is not clear when Messi will be able to play in Argentina's jersey again. From that point of view, the match against Chile is considered as a new beginning for Scaloni's Argentina team.
