CRYSTAL Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni will find out tonight if he has been selected for Argentina's World Cup squad.
A number of nations are currently submitting their 23-man squads, along with a standby list.
Manager Alejandro Sabella is believed to be taking his time due form and fitness concerns of some players before announcing his squad at 10pm Argentina time. That's around 4am in the United Kingdom.
Speroni has been in outstanding form this season, playing week in, week out in the Premier League.
He picked up the Palace fans' player of the year last week and has expressed his desire to be part of the Argentine national squad on a number of occasions.
It is believed Sabella has been sent DVDs of Speroni in action, with a number a of eye-catching saves included, yet he failed to call him up for a friendly back in March.
Speroni turns 35-years-old this Sunday and this summer's World Cup will be the last chance he could represent his country at senior level.
His future at Selhurst Park is set to be discussed with Eagles boss Tony Pulis this week too, with the club's board ready to offer him a new contract depending on Pulis' decision.
