Here is a comprehensive compilation of TV schedules and listings for Argentina's friendly against Guatemala.

After the nightmare that was the World Cup, Argentina will return to action with a friendly against Guatemala. The South American giant will lock horns with the Central American minnow with the aim of regaining their pride, but a number of star names have been left out of the squad.

The biggest absentee is Lionel Messi, the national team captain who went through heartbreak in Russia. The 31-year-old has reportedly asked not to be called up to La Albiceleste, with even the manager admitting to being unsure when the Barcelona icon will return.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner isn't the only star name missing from Argentina's squad, as Sergio Aguero, Gonzalo Higuain, and Angel Di Maria are other no-shows. Interim boss Lionel Scaloni has talented names in his squad nonetheless, with the likes of Paulo Dybala and Mauro Icardi being at his disposal and Giovani Lo Celso eyeing to break into the starting eleven.

While an easy win should be on the horizon, the main goal is to find a system that works well. Jorge Sampaoli failed to discover his best formation and tactics, a shortcoming that led to inevitable departure.

As for Guatemala, the CONCACAF nation will hope for a valiant performance against Argentina. Only time will tell whether they can't stand up against the two-time World Cup champion.
