Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni could name an unchanged starting lineup for Monday's 2024 Copa America final against Colombia at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida.

The defending champions secured a 2-0 victory over Canada in the semi-finals on Wednesday, keeping their fourth clean sheet of the tournament in five matches.

Shot-stopper Emiliano Martinez, on course to win the Golden Glove award, will remain between the sticks, protected by a back four of Gonzalo Montiel, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez and Nicolas Tagliafico.

Angel Di Maria has confirmed that he will retire from international football after Monday's final and the 36-year-old is in line to make his 145th and final appearance for Argentina from the start, occupying the right side of a four-man midfield, with Alexis Mac Allister the most likely to continue on the left.

Scaloni is expected to stick with Enzo Fernandez and Rodrigo De Paul in centre-midfield, although Giovani Lo Celso and Exequiel Palacios will be looking to force their way into the first XI.

Eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi overcame a leg injury to play the full 90 minutes against Canada, scoring a record-breaking goal in that victory, and the 37-year-old will start as captain in attack alongside Julian Alvarez, meaning Golden Boot-chasing Lautaro Martinez - who has scored a tournament-high four goals - is set to begin as a substitute once again.

Argentina possible starting lineup: E. Martinez; Molina, Romero, Li. Martinez, Tagliafico; Di Maria, De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister; Messi, Alvarez
