FORMER Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez is among three players to be left out of the Argentina squad after failing to get a vaccine.
The world champions face Angola in their only friendly of the international window on Friday.
However, some players will be missing for a bizarre reason.
Atletico Madrid stars Nahuel Molina, Giuliano Simeone – the son of Diego Simeone – and top goalscorer Alvarez were originally called up for the game.
However, head coach Lionel Scaloni dropped them on Monday after they failed to complete the required paperwork for the yellow fever vaccination.
A statement from the national team read: “The three Atletico de Madrid footballers are left out because they have not arrived in time with the health procedures related to the yellow fever vaccine that they must have to enter Angola.”

In addition, Argentina will be without Enzo Fernandez as he continues to recover from a knee injury.
Angola is the only team the World Cup winners will face this international break.
They will spend the additional time training in Europe.
Manchester United star Lisandro Martinez has joined up with the squad but will only train as he continues to build up fitness following his lengthy spell out with an ACL injury.
