CONMEBOL issues official sanction details as Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes sees suspension duration confirmed following tempestuous World Cup qualifying tie.
The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) has released its comprehensive disciplinary report concerning the fiery World Cup qualification fixture involving Argentina.
Midfielder Leandro Paredes has seen his cumulative international ban reach a total of 10 matches, following incidents in the tunnel area after the final whistle.
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has already declared their intent to file an expedited appeal, arguing the sanction is disproportionate compared to previous precedents.
Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni will be forced to adapt his midfield pivot for upcoming international breaks while awaiting the outcome of the arbitration panel.
