On bench against Austria
Montiel (hamstring) is on the bench for Monday's clash against Austria.
Analysis: Montiel has been included in the squad after resuming training sessions following the hamstring issue, with Nahuel Molina set to start at right-back and the coaching staff managing Montiel's return carefully before handing him a more prominent role in the final group stage game against Jordan. His presence among the substitutes nonetheless offers coach Lionel Scaloni a reliable option to call upon should the situation demand a change during what promises to be a demanding fixture.
Should be available Monday
Montiel (hamstring) could be an option for Argentina's national team Monday versus Austria, with coach Lionel Scaloni commenting "They are all available to play" prior to the match.
Analysis: Montiel has resumed training sessions with the squad, but he's currently expected to be among the substitutes for the upcoming contest. Consequently, Nahuel Molina will be in line to get an opportunity at right-back if Montiel is indeed rested against the European opposition. The River Plate man will likely bounce back to contention for the starting spot in the final group-stage game versus Jordan.
