At the request of the World Football Federation (FIFA), 32 teams for the 2018 World Cup will have to submit a preliminary list of 35 players before May 14. The official list should be completed by June 4th. So, Sampaoli quickly filled 34 players into the preliminary list, in which Dybala, who did not make a comeback in the recent series of friendly appearances, was called back. There is still a final yet to appear, but according to sources, striker Mauro Icardi is extremely high style (Inter) will likely continue to be ignored. The last time a 25-year-old striker wore Argentina's shirt was in October last year, the time when Albiceleste was at the helm of the 2018 World Cup in South America. So far, Icardi has made only four appearances for the Tango team. At the 2018 World Cup, Argentina is in Group D with rivals Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria.
