Argentina travel to Angola for a high-profile friendly that forms part of Angola's 50th independence celebrations. The national team reportedly received $6 million for the fixture, prompting criticism from civil rights groups who say the money should be used to help nearly 13 million Angolans living in poverty. Lionel Messi returns to Africa in Argentina colours for the first time since the 2010 World Cup. Several Argentina players missed the trip because of incomplete yellow fever vaccinations, injuries, or being rested. The announced starting XI features Gerónimo Rulli in goal and Messi up front with Lautaro Martínez. Kick-off is 4pm UK time with limited broadcast availability.
