Martinez netted the second goal in Inter Milan's 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the Italian Serie A on Sunday before being substituted in the 91st minute. The AFA has yet to announce a replacement for the 27-year-old. His absence was confirmed just two days after Albiceleste captain Lionel Messi withdrew from the squad due to an adductor strain.
Center-forward Igor earned a call-up for his consistent performances with Brazilian Serie A leaders Botafogo, while left-back Abner has impressed this season with French Ligue 1 side Lyon. Manager Dorival Junior also recalled Barcelona winger Raphinha, Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli, Juventus center-back Bremer, and Monaco full-back Vanderson.
