Furthermore, Tuesday’s loss to Bolivia was followed by Vidal announcing on Instagram that his country’s final two qualifiers and a hypothetical World Cup were all that he “had left”.
The 30-year-old has scored 23 goals in 97 caps for La Roja and won back-to-back Copa Americas in 2015 and 2016.
Vidal also lifted four straight Scudetti with Juventus between 2011 and 2015, before joining Bayern Munich.
However, he was heavily linked with a return to Serie A via the likes of Inter and Milan over the summer.
