Emiliano Martinez has been called back by Argentina for this month’s World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Peru after serving a two-match ban.
The Aston Villa goalkeeper missed matches against Venezuela and Bolivia in October due to a two-match suspension. He was penalised by CONMEBOL for inappropriate behaviour, including making an obscene gesture with the Copa America trophy before a match with Chile and damaging a local TV camera after losing to Colombia.
The Argentine side will kick off their qualifying campaign away to Paraguay on November 14, followed by a home encounter against Peru just five days later. Argentina stands atop the qualifying table with 22 points, maintaining a three-point advantage over second-placed Colombia, as they aim for an early berth in the 2026 World Cup.
