Espanyol vs Argentina: Probable line-up

Nov 14th, 99

(SoccerAge) -- The friendly match between Spanish club Espanyol and Argentina will be played at the Olympic stadium Montjuic (Barcelona)

Unfortunately for Batistuta he will not be playing in the two Argentina friendlies. Bati could not recover from his right foot injury and Fiorentina's doctors didn't allow him to travel. "Italian physician's report says that Batistuta still feels pain in the injured zone. So -even if he wanted to travel- they decided that he should not.

It would have been hard for him to play anyway, even the second match against Spain", said the Argentinean physician Donato Villani.

On the other hand, Olympique de Marseille's defender Eduardo Berizzo -who played for his team on Wednesday- and young Nicolas Medina were in the team's last training session.

The Argentinian team had a morning practice and later in the afternoon it visited Barcelona.

Espanyol:
Mora - Cristóbal, Rotchen, Lopo, Navas - Sergio, Galca, Roger, Arteaga - Martín Posse, Serrano (Gerard, Balbuena, Santis, Molnar, Casartelli, Javi López)

Argentina:
Burgos - Vivas, Pochettino, Sensini - Husaín, Almeyda, Zanetti, Gallardo - Ariel Ortega, Claudio López, Hernán Crespo (Cavallero, Berizzo, Simeone, Kily González, Gustavo López, Solari, Coloccini)
