Dybala ajumuhishwa kwenye kikosi cha Argentina

Lionel Scaloni named seven uncapped players for his side's friendlies next month.

Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martinez headline Argentina's squad for upcoming friendlies against Chile and Mexico with Lionel Messi missing through suspension.

Lionel Scaloni named a 27-man squad on Sunday, featuring seven uncapped players including Alexis Mac Allister, Leonardo Balerdi, Nicolas Figal, Lucas Martinez, Nicolas Dominguez, Lucas Ocampos and Adolfo Gaich.

Mac Allister, 20, is on loan at Boca from Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion, who signed the attacker in January.

Argentina, who finished third at the Copa America, are without superstar Messi as the forward serves a ban.

The Barcelona star is set to miss out after criticising the officiating at this summer's Copa America, alleging that CONMEBOL was "corrupt" in favour of hosts Brazil. 

As a result, Messi will miss the friendly matches against Chile and Mexico as well as an October friendly against Germanyand a one-match World Cup qualifying ban.
