Argentina-Burkina Faso friendly takes odd turn with U-23 side
Original: Argentina-Burkina Faso friendly reportedly takes bizarre twist as African side set to present U-23 team
Argentina's upcoming friendly against Burkina Faso has reportedly taken a strange twist, with the African nation said to be planning to field its under-23 team rather than its senior squad. The reported decision has raised questions about the competitive value of the match for Argentina, who typically use such fixtures to test their full-strength side ahead of official competitions.
Why now: The reported plan to field an under-23 team in a senior international friendly is unusual and challenges the match's legitimacy.
