Muslera’s selection is part nostalgia, part insurance — Rochet is the likely starter, but Bielsa values having a five-World-Cup veteran in the dressing room to manage tournament psychology. Expect him to play only in a group-stage dead-rubber or in case of emergency.

Strengths

shot-stopping reactions
experience and game-state composure
command of his box on crosses

Recent form

Estudiantes regular through 2025-26. [unverified] Final-squad call still subject to confirmation.

If selected for the final 26 he becomes only the third goalkeeper in World Cup history to feature in five tournaments — joining Antonio Carbajal and Gianluigi Buffon.
