Buenos Aires, Aug 24 (SocialNews.XYZ) Juventus forward Paulo Dybala has been recalled to Argentina's national squad for the first time in almost two years for 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela, Brazil and Bolivia.
The 27-year-old forms part of an attack that also includes Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martinez, Angel Di Maria and Angel Correa, the Argentine Football Association said on Monday.
