ARGENTINA (The Mirror) -- striker Claudio Lopez has been included in the 18-man squad for Wednesday's friendly against England at Wembley even though he has a throat infection and is running a fever.
It is a worry for coach Marcelo Bielsa, whose only other strikers are Gabriel Batistuta of Fiorentina and Hernan Crespo of Parma.
Bielsa has already lost Lazio defender Matias Almeyda and playmaker Marcelo Gallardo through injury but is set to gamble on Lopez.
England's crunch World Cup 2002 qualifier against Germany on September 1 next year will be played in Munich's Olympic stadium.
