Palacios pulls out of Argentina squad
Exequiel Palacios has been forced to withdraw from the Argentina squad, Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed.
Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed that Exequiel Palacios will not be able to represent Argentina during the international break.
In consultation with the Argentine Football Association, the midfielder has withdrawn from the squad for the games against El Salvador and Costa Rica due to a muscular problem in his right thigh.
Palacios was forced off late in Die Werkself's 3-2 win away at Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
The 25-year-old made his return from a spell on the sidelines in early March.
