Coach Jorge Sampaoli has a full squad after the recovery of the injured Sergio Aguero, Lucas Biglia and Gabriel Mercado.

The “albiceleste” team, which is staying a few meters from the Camp Nou and trained in the ‘home’ of star Lionel Messi, arrived in Barcelona on Thursday, and will stay until next Friday, when they will travel to Israel to play the last friendly before the World Cup.
