Paredes nears his return and could get minutes against Austria

Leandro Paredes could get minutes again with the Argentina national team this Monday when Lionel Scaloni’s side faces Austria in the second matchday of Group J at the 2026 World Cup. The midfielder has recovered from the right hamstring injury he suffered before the start of the tournament and is already training normally with the rest of the squad.

After missing the warm-up friendlies and the win over Algeria in the opener, the Boca player comes in after several consecutive training sessions alongside his teammates and appears as an option to get minutes in Dallas. The coaching staff will assess his progress over the next few days, although everything suggests he could be back in contention.
