Luis Galvan, who played in every match in Argentina's 1978 World Cup winning campaign, died on Monday aged 77, the Argentinian Football Association (AFA) announced.

The 36-year-old forward missed Inter Miami's Major League Soccer game at DC United on Saturday after coming off injured in their midweek CONCACAF Champions League win against Nashville.

The two friendlies will be the last before Lionel Messi and company gear up for the Copa America, to be held in United States in June. 

The Argentina Football Association (AFA) president Claudio Tapia said that the board intended to retire Lionel Messi’s No.10 shirt following his retirement. 

After years of support for La Albiceleste from countries like Bangladesh, India, and China, the AFA has devised diverse brand expansion programmes. This partnership is the expression of that trajectory and greater scope.

Footballers in Argentina pushed ahead with a strike on Friday over unpaid wages, forcing the year's first league games to be suspended despite a $22 million government payout, officials said.
