It will be the third call to the national team
for Martinez, 25, who joined the MLS champions in January from
River Plate of Superliga Argentina. Martinez does have one goal
in two matches with the national team.
Argentina has scheduled friendlies this month with both
Venezuela and Morocco in advance of Copa America participation
this summer. In addition to Messi, Martinez will have the
opportunity to team with Paulo Dybala, Angel di Maria and
Nicolas Otamendi on the Argentina national team.
Martinez has made four appearances in an Atlanta United uniform,
with three of them in Concacaf Champions League action. Martinez
played 89 minutes in Atlanta's 3-0 defeat at Monterrey (Mexico)
on Wednesday, getting the team's only shot on goal.
