Leandro Paredes, a midfielder for Argentina's national football team, has been cleared to participate in upcoming friendly matches as the team prepares for the World Cup. Concerns arose after he experienced muscle discomfort during Boca Juniors' last Copa Libertadores group-stage match. However, recent evaluations show that he is only suffering from a muscle strain, which will not hinder his performance. This news allows Paredes to potentially feature in friendly matches against Honduras or Iceland, depending on the decision of Argentina's head coach, Lionel Scaloni. This development is positive for the reigning world champions as they finalize their squad for the tournament.
