M anchester City striker Sergio Aguero is set to be axed by
Argentina for their must-win group game against Nigeria on
Tuesday.

Aguero is one of several players to have declared war on
beleaguered coach Jorge Sampaoli following the 1-1 draw with
Iceland and the 3-0 drubbing by Croatia.

But Sampaoli has won his battle to remain as manager in Russia
after a dressing room mutiny failed.

It is understood that several players approached Argentine FA
president Claudio Tapia to ask that Sampaoli be either sacked or
give them a voice in team selection, says the Mirror.

But Tapia has backed his manager – and Aguero will be replaced
in the team by Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain.

Sampaoli has also axed Chelsea back-up keeper Willy Caballero
following mistakes in both games and will be replaced by Franco
Armani even though the 31-year-old will be winning his first cap.
