The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has announced that the FIFA has suspended Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez for two matches in the South American qualifiers for the World Cup that will be played in October. The decision excludes the 32-year-old player from the official matches against Venezuela and Bolivia, which will be played on the 10th and 15th.
