Norwich City star Emi Buendía has been called up to the Argentina senior squad for the first time.
The 24-year-old was in sensational form as the Canaries won the Championship last season, scoring 15 goals and contributing 16 assists.
That form also saw him named the division s player of the season, and he has now been rewarded with his first international call-up.
Buendía has been named in the 30-man squad to face Chile and Colombia in the World Cup qualifiers next month, alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Sergio Agüero.
