Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli previously hinted that two of the worlds best players Paulo Dybala and Mauro Icardi won't be included in their national team in their road to Russia.
He left everyone surprised with the decision.
Dybala is one of the best emerging young talents of football whereas Icardi is the top scorer in Serie A. Despite their fascinating form and skills they could miss the World Cup, as their coach clearly stated they couldn't fit into his system.
However, Sampaoli had a slight change in mind as he included the Juventus forward in the 23-man squad. Despite being the top scorer in Serie A, Icardi failed to impress his boss.
