Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes has admitted that his future with the national team is uncertain following a 10-match suspension imposed by FIFA.
Paredes was handed the ban for his role in a confrontation with Spain players after Argentina’s 1-0 defeat in the 2026 World Cup final.
The 32-year-old grabbed Spain defender Eric Garcia by the throat and wrestled Gavi to the ground before appearing to strike the midfielder in the face.
Paredes, who plays for Boca Juniors, said the suspension has made it difficult for him to see his international career continuing as before.
As reported by BBC Sport on Wednesday, the Argentine was quoted as saying, “It’s going to be difficult for me to stay with the national team,” he said.
