Argentina vs. Colombia projected lineups & team news
Lionel Messi , who played the full 90 minutes despite a leg injury in Argentina's win over Canada, is expected to start again in the final.
Julian Alvarez , who scored in the semifinal, will likely retain his place in the lineup over Lautaro Martinez . Argentina's defence remains solid with Lisandro Martinez and Cristian Romero at center-back. There are question marks over whether Nahuel Molina will start over Gonzalo Montiel at right-back given the latter has been managing an ankle problem.
In midfield, Nico Gonzalez and Giovani Lo Celso are vying for a spot ahead of Alexis Mac Allister , who has been playing on the left in a 4-4-2 formation.
Argentina predicted lineup (4-4-2, right to left): E. Martinez — Molina, Romero, Li. Martinez, Tagliafico — De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister, Gonzalez — Alvarez, Messi.
For Colombia, Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz will miss the final due to a red card in the semifinal against Uruguay.
CONMEBOL has not confirmed any additional player bans following ugly scenes after the game in North Carolina, so Nestor Lorenzo is set to stick with a largely unchanged team.
Santiago Arias is expected to fill in at right-back. James Rodriguez will captain the team, with Jhon Cordoba and Liverpool's Luis Diaz leading the attack.
Colombia predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Vargas — S. Arias, Sanchez, Cuesta, Mojica — Rios, Lerma — J. Arias, James, Diaz — Cordoba.
