The forward has not been included in the Albiceleste squad for the Copa America this summer, but could have played at the Olympics in Rio.

Paulo Dybala reveals he’d have been in the Argentina squad for the Olympic Games, but “Juventus said no”.
The forward has not been included in the Albiceleste squad for the Copa America this summer, but could have played at the Olympics in Rio.
However, with the Games starting in August, the Bianconeri were unwilling to release one of their star men.
“I’ve never had an opportunity to play in a tournament for La Seleccion, and it would have been nice to do it with my teammates,” Dybala told reporters as he arrived in Argentina after the Coppa Italia final on Saturday.
“Unfortunately it’s not down to me. I knew I’d have been in the squad for the Olympics, I’d spoken to Tata Martino, but Juve said no.
“My idea was to be part of the squad for the Copa America or the Olympics, but unfortunately it’s not to be. My club are betting on me and want me to be in top condition for next season.
“Juve weren’t in a position to let me go, and when I talked to them I understood their decision.”
