Martínez in Argentina World Cup squad

Aston Villa’s Emi Martínez has been selected for Argentina ahead of this summer’s FIFA World Cup.

The goalkeeper has been rewarded for another impressive individual campaign in B6 with a call-up from coach Lionel Scaloni, forming a part of his 26-man team.

La Albiceleste will be hoping to retain their crown in the USA, Canada and Mexico, after a thrilling penalty shoot-out victory over France in the 2022 final, Martínez winning the tournament's Golden Glove award. 

Argentina begin their defence against Algeria in Group J on Wednesday, June 17, before taking on Austria and Jordan.

Congratulations, Emi! 🇦🇷
