Central defender German Pezzella has been ruled out of Argentina's squad for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Peru due to injury, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) said on Monday.

The 33-year-old sustained a calf muscle strain while playing for River Plate in Argentina's top flight and failed to recover in time for the Albiceleste's last two matches of 2024, the AFA said.

The entity did not immediately name a replacement for the former Fiorentina and Real Betis player.

Argentina will meet Paraguay in Asuncion on Thursday and Peru in Buenos Aires five days later.

The reigning World Cup and Copa America champion currently leads the South American qualifying zone with 22 points from 10 games.
