Leandro Paredes Questions Future with Argentina National Team

Leandro Paredes, an Argentina midfielder who plays for Boca Juniors, has indicated that continuing his international career may be challenging after receiving a 10-match suspension from FIFA.

The ban was imposed due to Paredes' involvement in a confrontation on the field following Argentina's loss to Spain in the 2026 World Cup final, where he was seen grabbing Eric Garcia and wrestling Gavi.

Paredes also mentioned that Lionel Messi's recent retirement from international football could influence his decision, stating that the combination of the suspension and Messi's departure makes it difficult to maintain his position on the national team.
