by Argentina coach Gerardo Martino.
The Juventus striker has not played for his country since their
2011 Copa America quarter-final defeat to Uruguay, apparently
due to a personality clash with former boss Alejandro Sabella.
However, Martino – who took over from Sabella after
Argentina's World Cup final loss to Germany in July – said earlier
this month that he would not be averse to bringing Tevez back
into the fold.
Tevez has been in superb form for Juve this season, scoring eight
goals in 10 appearances, and Martino has rewarded the 30-year-
old with a place in his 25-man squad for Argentina's friendlies
against Croatia and Portugal next month.
The Argentina national team revealed Martino's selection on
their official Twitter account, and the squad also includes the
likes of captain Lionel Messi and Manchester United's Angel di
Maria.
Argentina take on Croatia at West Ham's Upton Park ground on
November 12, before their clash against Cristiano Ronaldo's
Portugal at Old Trafford six days later.
