Buenos Aires, Argentina (My Sportsbook) - Juan Roman Riquelme and Sergio Aguero were among 18 players who were named for Argentina's February 6 friendly with Guatemala that will be played at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.

Manager Sergio Batista's roster also includes Bayern Munich defender Martin Demichelis and Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano, however Barcelona's Lionel Messi will not take part in the match because of recent injury troubles.

Argentina is using the friendly as a tuneup for its Olympic title defense in August, when the team will be coached by Batista, who replaces Alfio Basile while Basile is handling Argentina's 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.

The goalkeepers for the match will be Getafe's Oscar Ustari and Sergio Romero of AZ Alkmaar.

Pablo Zabaleta, Ezequiel Garay, Federico Fazio and Cristian Ansaldi will join Demichelis in defense while the midfield will be led by Riquelme and Mascherano along with Fernando Gago, Ever Banega, Jose Sosa, and Damian Escudero.

Aguero leads Atletico Madrid with nine goals in La Liga and he will be joined up top by Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Marco Ruben.
