Both the central defender, the midfielders and the left back were reprimanded in these games played in Chilean territory and will have to comply with a sanction date for accumulating yellow cards.
Otamendi could be replaced by Lucas Martínez Quarta, by Tagliafico would be Marcos Acuña, while with De Paul and Paredes it will be necessary to improvise since Giovani Lo Celso is the only natural replacement in the first line of midfielders, according to the evaluations of the Argentine team Lionel Scalloni, which will practically have a new or alternate team.
