Angel Di Maria is confident Gonzalo Higuain can help Argentina overcome their goalscoring troubles against Brazil in the absence of Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero.
Gerardo Martino's side suffered defeat to Ecuador before a draw with Paraguay in their opening two qualifiers for World Cup 2018, with Messi absent due to a knee problem and Aguero suffering a hamstring injury in their first outing.
"I'm happy about Pipa's [Higuain] return, he is having a very good season with Napoli," Di Maria said.
"Hopefully he can continue on this path here. I hope he helps us score goals, which is what we are missing."
"I think that the injuries are important, especially those of Kun [Aguero] and Leo who are fundamental," he added.
"But the guys that are here will try to do everything to get the three points here [in Buenos Aires against Brazil] and in Barranquilla [against Colombia].
"We know it will not be easy."
