Here is the latest team news and confirmed lineups as Argentina and Austria meet in their second Group J match. Lionel Scaloni\u2019s side made a perfect start to their title defence, overwhelming Algeria in a comfortable 3\u20130 victory. Lionel Messi\u2019s hat-trick saw him join Miroslav Klose on 16 FIFA World Cup goals, the joint-highest tally in tournament history. <\/span>Scaloni was full of praise for Messi after the match<\/span><\/a>, saying: \u201cI’m at a loss for words about Leo. What can I say? He’s incredible.\u201d A similar performance for La Albiceleste would ensure qualification to the knockout stages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ralf Rangnick\u2019s Austria enter this match following a 3\u20131 win over Jordan in their opener. Goals from Romano Schmid and Marko Arnautovic, alongside an own goal, secured victory in a surprisingly challenging encounter. Yet Rangnick will know that even a draw against the reigning champions could effectively secure Austria\u2019s progression to the next stage, with four points widely viewed to be the threshold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gonzalo Montiel has been dealing with a hamstring issue and his status is uncertain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicolas Tagliafico will also need to be assessed further. The left-back has been suffering from a calf injury which sidelined him for the Algeria encounter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stefan Posch is the major concern. Having suffered a broken jaw, which will not require surgery, Posch is a doubt for this match.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Konrad Laimer, who regularly operates at right-back for Bayern Munich, provides an ideal replacement for the uncertain Posch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
