Gianluca Prestianni earned his sole Argentina cap in November 2025

Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni will miss Argentina's first two matches of this summer's World Cup if selected, as his ban for abusing Vinicius Jr has been extended worldwide.

Prestianni, 20, was given a six-match ban by Uefa last month after he admitted using homophobic language towards Real Madrid's Vinicius during their Champions League match in February.

He will be banned for two further games, having already served a provisional one-match ban, with the other three suspended for two years.

Football's global governing body Fifa has accepted Uefa's request for a worldwide ban.
