Coach Gerardo Martino has announced the list of 23 players who will join the Argentina national team to compete in the 2016 Copa America in the US.

Among the 23 players just selected by the 53-year-old coach, there are two regrettable absences compared to the preliminary list. That is the case of Juventus star Paulo Dybala and Boca Juniors player Carlos Tevez, both of whom are in good form for their clubs.

According to some sources, this was in the calculation of coach Martino because Dybala is only 23 years old this year and will be used at the 2016 Rio Olympics. In addition, Pablo Zabaleta, Ezequiel Garay, and Ángel Correa are also famous players but were not included in the final list.

Without Dybala, without Tevez, coach Martino still has no shortage of options in attack when he still has superstar Messi and excellent satellites around him such as Sergio Aguero, Gonzalo Higuain, Nicolas Gaitan, Angel Di Maria and Erik Lamela. Argentina will be in the same group with Panama, Bolivia and Chile in this year's Copa America./.

Goalkeeper:Mariano Andujar (Estudiantes), Nahuel Guzman (Club Tigres), Sergio Romero (Manchester United)
