Argentina will be without Atletico Madrid trio Julian Alvarez, Nahuel Molina, and Giuliano Simeone for Friday’s friendly in Angola after they failed to complete procedures linked to the yellow fever vaccine.
Argentina’s FA announced this in a statement on Monday.
“The players did not complete in time the health procedures related to the yellow fever vaccine, which is required to enter Angola,” the AFA said.
