Martino happy to include Juventus striker Tevez in Argentina squad

Argentina coach Tata Martino is happy including Juventus striker Carlos Tevez in his latest squad.

It ends a three-year exile for the forward.

"I called Tevez because he is a player who is doing well," explained Martino.

"When I arrived, I was able to meet the Federal chiefs and ask them if there was a player I should not call. I was given carte blanche and therefore, for the next two games, I called Carlitos.

"I consider him to be a centre-forward, so he will challenge for a place with Aguero and Higuain. If we needed more than two strikers, well... we'll see."
