Before accepting to play Nigeria, the Argentina Football Association had negotiated an international friendly with Ukraine and they also received a proposal from Israel.
Manager Jorge Sampaoli has called up 22 stars for the friendlies against Russia and Nigeria, including Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Paulo Dybala, Javier Mascherano and Angel Di María.
Eight players have been placed on a standby list : Guido Pizarro (Sevilla), Emanuel Mammana (Zenit), Giovanni Lo Celso (PSG), Emanuel Lanzini (West Ham), Gerónimo Rulli (Real Sociedad),Joaquín Correa (Sevilla) and Emiliano Insúa (Stuttgart).
Nigeria have already qualified for next summer's showpiece with a game to spare, after four wins and a draw in Group B of the African qualifiers.
