The 36-year-old winger at Benfica in Portugal said recently he could play again for his boyhood club Rosario Central. He was currently in the United States touring with Argentina.

"That kind of threat brings a lot of social commotion and that is their aim - to make the population scared, hit public figures," Esteban Santantino, who works in security for the local government, told broadcaster Todo Noticias.
