Enciso’s Brighton team-mates Valentin Barco and Facundo Buonanotte could, however, be selected by Argentina.
Barco helped Argentina to qualify for the Olympics tournament at the beginning of 2024 before the 19-year-old left-back linked up with Brighton from Boca Juniors.
The Olympics football starts on July 24 and finishes on August 10.
Brighton’s first Premier League fixture of 2024-25 under new head coach Fabian Hurzeler is at Everton on August 17.
