Argentina vs Mexico lineup: Starting XIs, team news confirmed, injury update for World Cup 2022 today
,
Restin Romero is set to miss Argentina’s World Cup-winning clash with Mexico today.
It ended their 36-match unbeaten run and boss Lionel Scaloni must now decide whether to make significant changes as a result or trust the players to bounce back quickly.
Lisandro Martinez came into defense after replacing Romero on the hour mark in that defeat.

Leandro Paredes struggled against Saudi Arabia but does not lose his place in the starting line-up alongside Enzo Fernandez.
For Mexico, the inclusion of Raul Jimenez against Portugal was a big boost but he does not start.
The striker has not played for Wolves since August due to injury but came off the bench to play 19 minutes in the Group C opener. His return to the team will be a welcome one, as Mexico struggled to find a clinical edge against Poland to build on their positive play.
Alexis Vega and Herring Lozano were both impressive in the goalless draw and should again start in wide areas, while World Cup specialist Guillermo Ochoa is likely to be busy in goal for 90 minutes.
Argentina starting XI: Martinez; Montiel, Otamendi, Lisandro Martínez, Acuña; DePaul, Guido Rodriguez, McAllister; Messi; De Maria, Lataro Martinez
Starting Mexico XI: Ocho K. Alvarez, Araújo, Moreno, Montes, Gallardo; Guardado, Herrera, Chavez; Lozano, Vega
