Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has warned more Argentina players could follow Lionel Messi into international retirement after the Barcelona superstar's shock exit.
Messi called time on his Argentina career after missing a penalty in a shootout defeat to Chile in Sunday's Copa America final.
"It's likely that Messi won't be the only one to go into international retirement," said Aguero.
"It's our toughest defeat to take," he added.
"We were all very devastated in the dressing room, particularly Leo, I'd never seen him in such a state," Aguero said.
