Buenos Aires (Argentina) Oct 2: Juventus forward Paulo Dybala has been cut from Argentina's squad for World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay, Uruguay and Peru because of a leg injury, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) said on Friday.

"After an evaluation of his medical examinations, it was decided that ... Paulo Dybala would be withdrawn from the squad for the triple-header in October," read an AFA statement published on social media.
Argentina will face Paraguay away on October 7 before home fixtures against Uruguay and Peru on October 10 and 14, respectively.
The Albiceleste are currently second in the 10-team South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with five wins and three draws from their eight matches so far.
