Argentina will continue their World Cup title defense on Saturday night when they take on a spirited Switzerland in the final quarterfinal at Kansas City Stadium. Lionel Scaloni’s side will be aiming to book a place in the semifinals, where the winner of the Norway-England clash will be waiting.

With a spot in the last four on the line, Argentina will be looking to keep their championship hopes alive against a determined Swiss team. Switzerland have reached the last 16 for the first time since 1974. Argentina head into their World Cup quarterfinal against Switzerland with no new injury concerns, giving head coach Scaloni a full-strength squad to choose from.

Argentina on a High

Cristian Romero is fit and expected to partner Lisandro Martínez in central defense, while Emiliano Martínez is set to continue in goal behind a settled backline. After back-to-back 3-2 wins over Cape Verde and Egypt in the knockout stage, Scaloni could make a few tactical adjustments to keep his squad fresh.

Changes at fullback and in midfield are among the options as Argentina prepare for another demanding test.

Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Enzo Fernández and Alexis Mac Allister are all expected to play key roles in midfield, providing the balance and control needed against a disciplined Swiss side.

Leading the attack will once again be Lionel Messi, who has scored eight goals to top Argentina’s charts at this tournament. He is expected to partner Lautaro Martínez as the defending champions look to secure their place in the semifinals.

Switzerland have been dealt a major blow ahead of their World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina, with midfielder Johan Manzambi ruled out of the match.

Head coach Murat Yakin confirmed that the 20-year-old Freiburg midfielder failed a late fitness test after experiencing knee pain. His absence is a major setback for the Swiss, as Manzambi scored three goals during the group stage and has been one of the team’s biggest attacking threats on the counter.

There is better news elsewhere, however. Winger Ruben Vargas is fit to start after making his return as a substitute in Switzerland’s penalty shootout win over Colombia. Midfielder Michel Aebischer is also available for selection.

Switzerland will once again rely on its defensive organization and experienced core as it looks to pull off another upset against the defending champions. Gregor Kobel is expected to start in goal behind a back line led by Manuel Akanji, while captain Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler will be tasked with controlling the midfield battle.
