Argentina on Alert: Paredes Injury Raises Concerns
The midfielder was forced off in the Superclásico, adding to Argentina’s growing injury worries.
The Selección Argentina is facing fresh concerns after Leandro Paredes suffered an injury during the clash between River Plate and Boca Juniors.
Paredes, who had been the standout performer, felt muscle discomfort in the 72nd minute and had to be substituted. He had earlier scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in Boca’s 1-0 victory.
Medical tests will determine the severity of the issue, with fears of a possible hamstring injury that could sideline him for weeks.
Head coach Lionel Scaloni is already dealing with other injury concerns. Cristian Romero is recovering from a knee problem, while Lautaro Martínez has recently struggled with recurring muscle issues.
Paredes’ condition will be closely monitored as both his club and national team hope for positive news.
The Superclásico brought joy for Boca—but concern for Argentina.
