CARLOS TEVEZ and Gonzalo Higuain’s international careers are not over, according to Argentina boss Edgardo Bauza.
Former West Ham, Manchester United and Manchester City striker Tevez has not featured for his country since October last year.
Higuain, who recently joined Juventus from Napoli for £75million, was left out of this month’s World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Venezuela.
Despite the absence of the pair, Bauza insists that both men could still play a role on the road to Russia.
Bauza said: “I spoke with him [Higuain]. He knows that he could be selected at any time. He’s a national team player.

“[Tevez] is getting back to his best form, but we’ll have to see how he does after his [Primera Division] suspension.
“He could be selected if he maintains his form.”
Following the 1-0 victory over Uruguay courtesy of Lionel Messi, Argentina came from two down to draw 2-2 Venezuela last week.
Bauza took charge of the national team in August, and despite an unbeaten start to the job, he still sees plenty of things to improve on.
He added: “The idea has been instilled. We’ve been reviewing the last two qualifiers and there’s good things that stand out but also things to correct.
“We know that during these tight qualifiers winning is important. That is always the idea.”
