Argentina have held a training session ahead of their 2018 World Cup qualifier against Peru.

La Albiceleste will be without their star player Lionel Messi due to injury when they take on the Peruvians in Lima on Thursday.

Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza, believes his side can overcome their opponents as they haven't lost against them for in over 19 years and have won 9 of their 11 meetings with Peru since 1997. Argentina is currently at the third spot of the tournament's table with 15 points from 8 games.
