Manchester City defender Nicolas Otamendi has pulled out of the Argentina squad to face Mexico in back-to-back friendlies this month.
The 30-year-old has not played for the Premier League champions since October, and was unavailable for the Carabao Cup win over Fulham and Premier League success over Southampton due to an undisclosed knock.
He returned to the City squad for the Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk last week but was an unused substitute before being omitted from the 18 which faced Manchester United.
Otamendi has not been deemed fit enough to face El Tri in the two friendlies scheduled to take place in Cordoba on Friday November 16 and Mendoza on Tuesday November 20 during the international break, and is among three withdrawals.
