Leandro Paredes suggests Argentina exit following suspension and Messi's departure
Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes has suggested he may retire from international football after being handed a 10-match ban for his involvement in a post-match fight after the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. The 32-year-old mentioned that continuing to represent his country will be "difficult" given the lengthy suspension and Lionel Messi’s decision to step away from international play. Paredes noted, "I haven't discussed it with the [head] coach yet."
