ARGENTINA'S World Cup winning stars are having to use oxygen tubes to deal with the high altitude ahead of their clash with Bolivia. <\/p>\n

The Albiceleste take on Bolivia tomorrow night in a World Cup qualification match up at the Hernando Siles Stadium. <\/p>\n

The football ground, which is in the La Paz region of Bolivia, will likely raise a different kind of challenge for the Argentinian squad with its altitude sitting at a whopping 11,932 feet above sea level. <\/p>\n

The high altitude means players will find it more difficult to catch their breath and as a result they have been seen carrying around personal oxygen tanks.<\/p>\n

Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister has even posted a picture of himself using a handheld tank to take on board the right amount of oxygen whilst on the team coach. <\/p>\n

And the Argentina team aren't the only visitors to the Bolivian stadium that have resorted to using oxygen tubes. <\/p>\n

In 2017 Brazil players were also pictured using the tanks to make sure their oxygen levels were up to scratch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Being anywhere more than 6000 feet above sea level can cause breathlessness, dizziness and headaches. <\/p>\n

But it's not just the physical problems that Argentina will have to cope with, but the altitude could also mean Lionel Messi is taken out of the starting 11. <\/p>\n

The Inter Miami star was subbed off during Argentina's 1-0 victory over Ecuador last week and boss Lionel Scaloni might not feel he can risk him at the crazy heights.<\/p>\n
