Argentine national team leader Lionel Messi will not be able to help his country's team avenge their loss to Germany in the World Cup final.
In the Spanish championship, the "Barcelona" star suffered a muscle injury and will have to temporarily forget about football.
Debuting in the coaching position, Gerardo Martino will also not have the injured Maxi Rodriguez, Rodrigo Palacios, Ezequiel Garay.
Doctors are still trying to get forward Ezequiel Lavezzi back on his feet after a back injury in the "Ligue 1".
Finding gaps, Martino invited "Tottenham" forward Erik Lamela and "Benfica" defender Nico Gaitan.
The friendly match between Argentina and Germany will take place on Wednesday in Dusseldorf.
