(FILES) Argentina's midfielder #05 Leandro Paredes takes part in a training session at Sporting KC Training Centre in Kansas City on July 10, 2026, on the eve of the 2026 World Cup football match between Argentina and Switzerland. "I don't know if I'll stay with the national team." Leandro Paredes, captain of Boca Juniors and one of the key figures in the Argentine squad, raised doubts about his future with the Albiceleste, who are coming off the back of the defeat to Spain in the 2026 World Cup final. "It's going to be a long process to get over what we've been through. We achieved some important things, but losing the World Cup final is going to hurt for a long time, because we were so close again," said Paredes on July 23, 2026.
