Continuity for Gonzalo Montiel in the Argentine national team. The Sevilla FC full-back is in the call of 28 players made by the Argentine coach, Lionel Scaloni, for the matches against Paraguay and Peru corresponding to the qualifying phase of the next 2026 World Cup scheduled for the next Thursday, November 14 and Tuesday, November 19 respectively.

After the third break of the season in the First Division, Sevilla’s return to the competition is scheduled for Sunday, November 24 (4:15 p.m.) with the home match against Rayo Vallecano of matchday 14.

In the previous Argentina call-up, which took place in October, Montiel was also in Scaloni’s squad. A starting substitute in the first match, which ended in a draw away to Venezuela (1-1), the winger had the opportunity to participate in the second 45 minutes.

Days later, in Argentina’s victory against Bolivia (6-0), also in the World Cup qualifying phase, Montiel was a substitute although on that occasion he did not even have minutes during the match.
