Javier Mascherano fine after minor injury playing for Argentina

Argentina's national team are heading to Barranquilla, Colombia, where they will take on Jose Pekerman's side on Tuesday.

It's a crucial game for Tata Martino's future, with the coach currently having not won any of the first three matches in Argentina's World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign. They have two points and are only above Venezuela. 

After the Brazil clash, Martino's men trained in the morning and had a free afternoon, before sharing a traditional "asado" dinner. 

Javier Mascherano picked up a minor injury against Brazil in his left adductor, but trained normally after that and will start the game as captain of the Albiceleste.

Barcelona hope the centre-back returns healthy and ready for the Clasico and doesn't get struck down by the FIFA Virus. 

Gonzalo Higuain trained alone after suffering a blow to the ankle, but is likely to start the game against Colombia. The probable starting line up is: Romero, Peruzzi, Otamendi, Funes Morí, Rojo; Biglia, Mascherano, Banega; Di María, Higuain, Lavezzi.
