The dressing rooms in the 1,20,000 capacity Salt Lake Stadium will be ready within the next 2-3 days. At least 25 new lockers are being set up in the dressing rooms apart from four new massage tables. Argentina's dressing room is being painted white and sky blue in order to make Lionel Messi and his men feel at home.
