There were no surprises among coach Sergio Batista's selections, posted on the Argentine Football Association's website five days after their last warm-up - a 4-0 rout of Albania at the Monumental.
Batista dropped three home-based players from those named in his provisional squad - Boca Juniors defender Luciano Monzon, Lanus midfielder Diego Valeri and Estudiantes winger Enzo Perez.
However, the coach and player had a heart-to-heart and Tevez, who last season became the first Argentine to finish as top goalscorer in the English Premier League, was included in Batista's provisional 26-man squad on June 1.
The immensely popular Manchester City captain's inclusion was reported as being at least partly down to the fans' clamour.
