Argentina coach Diego Maradona has announced the 30 players short-listed, of which only 23 remain to be in the next World Cup Africa 2010 and, among the top surprises, highlighting the absence of Fernando Gago, who had not been taken into account in most of the cycle-and Inter players Esteban Cambiasso and Javier Zanetti.
In addition, Lio Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Kun Agüero, the three attackers who play in the Liga, are in the list, which was logical given their recent performances in Spain and in European competitions.
