The Juventus striker was not taken into consideration by Alejandro Sabella, while Lamella's injuries and struggles at Spurs counted against him
Strike force: Gonzalo Higuain and Lionel Messi both make the Argentina squad
Argentina boss Alejandro Sabella has - as predicted - left Carlos Tevez out of his World Cup squad.
The Juventus striker missed out on a place in the provisional 30-man list as well as Tottenham winger Erik Lamela and PSG midfielder Javier Pastore.
Franco Di Santo, Gabriel Mercado and Fabian Rinaudo are the surprise inclusions, but are not expected to make the final cut come June 2.
