UEFA originally imposed the six-match suspension for discriminatory conduct, with three games suspended for a probationary period. Prestianni had already served a one-match provisional suspension when he missed the second leg against Real Madrid.

Prestianni has limited international experience, having made only one appearance for Argentina as a late substitute in a friendly match against Angola in November.

Argentina's World Cup campaign is set to begin on June 16 against Algeria, followed by matches against Austria and Jordan.
