Argentina are making sure they will be ready for anything ahead of their World Cup round of 16 clash
against France with their goalkeepers facing penalties ahead of training on Friday.
Franco Armani, Willy Caballero and
Nahuel Guzman faced spot-kicks from some of the youth players who have traveled to Russia with the squad to help out when needed, ahead of Saturday's showdown at the Kazan Arena.
After scraping through Group D in second place, Argentina must face one of the tournament favourites in France, who topped Group C. Enzo Perez returned to training at Argentina's base in Bronnitsy after a minor fitness concern and Ever Banega was given birthday greetings by his team-mates as he turned 30, with the South Americans looking for calm and unity after a tumultuous start to the tournament.
Coach Jorge Sampaoli is expected to select the same side which started in the 2-1 win over Nigeria on Tuesday, which would be the first time in 15 games at the helm of Argentina he has not made changes from the previous match.
