Boca’s stance on Paredes being called up to the Argentina squad | OneFootball

Lionel Scaloni has announced the list of players summoned for the Argentina National Team to travel to the United States and face a series of friendly matches against Venezuela and Puerto Rico, on Friday, October 11 and Monday, October 13, respectively. And Boca loses Leandro Paredes.

The world champion and two-time champion of America, practically has a guaranteed place in the 2026 World Cup. But he is part of the call-up in which Scaloni will carry out various tests to complete the list with those who still do not have the guarantee of competing.

In relation to the stance of the Pujato-born with Paredes, as BOLAVIP was able to know, Boca does not oppose him wearing the national jersey, and they even imagined that he would be part of the squad despite being a fixed choice for the coach. On the other hand, it should be noted that they never thought of asking for permission not to include him, as they know that the player wants to wear the albiceleste uniform.

Miguel Ángel Russo and Juan Román Riquelme know that for the midfielder from San Justo, being in the Argentina National Team is a priority. As is Boca. But if Scaloni or Paredes himself were the ones who expressed themselves on the matter, the situation would have been different.

The matches that Leandro Paredes will miss in Boca

Due to the call-up to the Argentina National Team, Paredes will not be present in two Boca matches for the Clausura Tournament. The first of them will be on Saturday, October 11 at 2:30 p.m. against Barracas Central as a visitor, and the second will be against Belgrano, with the date to be confirmed.
