Manchester City centre-back Martin Demichelis has hinted he is about to call time on his international career with Argentina.
Demichelis is expected to start in their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia on Tuesday, with City team-mate Nicolas Otamendi and Everton's Ramiro Funes Mori banned.
But the 35-year-old, whose contract with City expires this summer, says that match in Cordoba could be his last in Argentina colours.
Demichelis feels continuing to the 2018 World Cup, should Argentina qualify, would be too far for him even if he remained in manager Gerardo Martino's plans.
"As a matter of humility and because I am realistic of the situation, I have to be aware that it may be my last game," he said. "And I want to experience the game that way.
"I have been going 35-and-a-half years and do not know how many more chances I will be able to provide. I am proud to remain at my age, that they feel I can contribute.
"I'm not physically ill, but I know that there are new players. The coach has to have an eye on the project.
"The truth is that for me the next World Cup is far for my body and my mind. All this makes me say that this may be my last game. And if it is my last will be the best place for me, which is Cordoba, where I played a few times."
