Scaloni’s call on including Leandro Paredes for the Africa tour | OneFootball

Lionel Scaloni, head coach of the Argentine National Team, made a decision regarding the call-up of Leandro Paredes for the Albiceleste's tour in Africa at the end of the year as the team prepares for the next World Cup.

Boca received the good news that the national team strategist took the most logical stance and will not call up the Xeneize midfielder. The FIFA date coincides with the conclusion of the regular phase of the Clausura Tournament, which creates a problem for the teams.

Initially, there was speculation that Leandro Paredes might be called up and travel after the Superclásico, but he would have to return quickly from Spain, where the Argentine National Team will be based before traveling to Angola, the African country they will face on Friday, November 14. This posed a headache because there was little time for him to return to the country and be available for the match against Tigre.

Therefore, Scaloni finally decided not to call up the Boca midfielder, allowing the Xeneize to count on him for the final stretch of the regular phase and focus on the playoffs, a stage for which they are virtually qualified.
