Argentina has announced a 29-member provisional squad for the upcoming Copa America 2024.

Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez has made it into Argentina's provisional lineup for the Copa America 2024. Despite undergoing groin surgery in April, sidelining him for the remainder of the season, the 23-year-old midfielder's recovery seems to be on track for the continental tournament.

On the contrary, Roma's Paulo Dybala hasn't found a place in the squad. Despite a stellar season with 16 goals and 10 assists in 38 matches and propelling Roma to the Europa League semi-finals, Dybala has been left out of the Albicelestes lineup

Emiliano Martinez is set to be the custodian whereas Lionel Messi will be leading the line with captain's armband for the defending champions. Although they have named a 29-man squad, Lionel Scaloni will have to whittle down to 26 ahead of the deadline on June 12.

The team is scheduled for friendly matches against Ecuador and Guatemala before kicking off their Copa America campaign against Canada on June 21, followed by matches against Chile and Peru in Group A.
