Paris Olympic Games: Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez and veteran Benfica defender Nicolas Otamendi are the two overage players named in Argentina's squad for the Paris Olympic Games.

The 16-team Olympic football tournament is open to players under the age of 23, but each side can include three overage "wild cards" in their squad, reports Xinhua.

As expected, Lionel Messi is selected in the team as the Inter Miami star said in June that he is no longer at an age where he can play in every tournament.
