Argentina - Inter Milan pair Javier Zanetti and Esteban Cambiasso will not feature at the 2010 FIFA World Cup after they were left out of coach Diego Maradona's provisional 30-man squad on Wednesday.

There is no surprise in some of the big name inclusions, however, as Lionel Messi of Barcelona, and Carlos Tevez of Manchester City are among those European based players who'll be on the plane to South Africa.

Diego Maradona has selected a squad with its weight forwards, though, as he named 7 centre forwards in this provisional lineup.

Argentina have until 1 June to name their final 23 man squad for the tournament, in which they face Greece, Nigeria and South Korea in the tricky Group B.

Argentina 30 man squad:

Goalkeepers: Sergio Romero (AZ Alkmaar), Mariano Andujar (Catania), Diego Pozo (Colon)

Defenders: Nicolas Burdisso (Inter Milan), Martin Demichelis (Bayern Munich), Walter Samuel (Inter Milan), Gabriel Heinze (Olympique Marseille), Nicolas Otamendi (Velez Sarsfield), Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle), Juan Manuel Insaurralde (Newell’s Old Boys), Clemente Rodriguez (Estudiantes), Ariel Garce (Colon)

Midfielders: Javier Mascherano (Liverpool), Sebastian Blanco (Lanus), Juan Sebastian Veron (Estudiantes), Jesus Datolo (Olympiacos), Jose Sosa (Estudiantes), Maximiliano Rodriguez (Liverpool), Mario Bolatti (Fiorentina), Juan Mercier (Argentinos Juniors), Angel Di Maria (Benfica), Jonas Gutierrez (Newcastle), Javier Pastore (Palermo)
