I think we can scratch Aimar from the Argentinian team, Matt.

Quote from Reuters:

Valencia have refused to release Argentine midfielder Pablo Aimar for the Copa America in Peru next month, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) said.

"Valencia say Aimar has not yet fully recovered from an injury he suffered during the last stage of the Spanish league," an AFA spokesman said on Thursday.

Aimar, who has a groin problem, was called up by Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa earlier this week to join an as yet incomplete squad for the July 6-25 tournament.

Argentina are in Group B in northern Peru with Uruguay, Ecuador and Mexico.

Argentina's squad is still fairly strong though.

Can't wait for this and it's on Sky (I think.) I'd expect that there will be some money to be made in opposing the favs. here.

[Footy Punter]

So are Argentina going into this with only a 16 man squad, well 15 if Aimar isn't included, two of which are Gabriel Heinze - who is listed at 2 and 6?

[Matt]

Abbondanzieri, Leonardo Fernández, Kily Gonzalez, Javier Mascerano, Carlos Tevez, Luciano Figeuroa all added to Argentina squad.
