This Monday, Leandro Paredes joined the training sessions with the Argentine National Team after the victory with Boca in Mar del Plata. The world champion is set to be a starter in Lionel Scaloni's team against Venezuela.
Leandro Paredes arrived last night from the trip to 'La Feliz' where he brought back three important points with the Xeneize. The midfielder was decisive once again, with a goal assist in the 2-0 win over Aldosivi. The return to Ezeiza took longer than expected because the delegation had to travel by bus as the airport was closed due to fog over the coast.

Around noon this Monday, Leandro Paredes headed to Ezeiza, but to the Argentine Football Association's facility, which is just a few meters from Boca Juniors'. The footballer will start training this afternoon with the Albiceleste team to prepare for the first of two commitments the team has in the South American Qualifiers double date for the upcoming World Cup.
Paredes is expected to start against Venezuela.
Paredes is expected to start in the match that the Argentine National Team will play against Venezuela this Thursday, September 4, at 8:30 PM at the Antonio Vespucio Liberti Stadium (Más Monumental). Lionel Scaloni plans to start the Boca player, in what will be his first match with the national team as a Xeneize player.
