Roma winger Matias Soule has resumed training with the Argentina national team at their Ezeiza headquarters. The 23-year-old attacker had been granted a brief leave of absence to support his partner during the birth of their first child, Bautista.
The couple announced the birth via social media, sharing a joint post from the hospital. The news was met with warm wishes from teammates, including Paulo Dybala, who expressed his excitement to meet the newborn.
Soule returned to full training on Tuesday, immediately shifting his focus toward earning a spot in Lionel Scaloni's attacking plans. This international window presents a significant opportunity for the former youth prospect to finally make his senior debut for the Albiceleste.
Having started the Serie A season with Roma in promising form, Soule is eager to prove his worth in the senior setup. Argentina's squad is now preparing for a series of three friendlies, starting with Wednesday's clash against Bolivia at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes.
