Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has returned to the Argentina squad for this month’s World Cup qualifiers after serving a suspension, while Valencia midfielder Enzo Berrenechea earned his first call-up by coach Lionel Scaloni on Tuesday.
Aston Villa’s Martinez will return to international duty after serving a two-match ban from FIFA for “offensive behaviour and violation of the principles of fair play”.
In a match against Chile, Martinez made a lewd gesture with the Copa America trophy, while after a defeat against Colombia, he hit a local TV camera.

Youngsters Alejandro Garnacho, Nicolas Paz and Facundo Buonanotte, from Manchester United, Como 1907 and Leicester City respectively, have been recalled as part of the world and Copa American champions’ generational change.
Captain Lionel Messi will lead Argentina away to Paraguay on November 14 before it hosts Peru five days later.
