Argentina team officially calls Messi to compete in 2026 World Cup qualifiers

Previously, there was news that Messi would not join the Argentina national team to focus on the MLS Cup championship race with Inter Miami. However, with the famous player completely healthy and fit, coach Scaloni still decided to call him to the team.

Messi trong lần trở lại đội tuyển Argentina gần đây đã ghi hat-trick ở trận thắng Bolivia tỷ số 6-0
Messi, on his recent return to the Argentina national team, scored a hat-trick in a 6-0 win over Bolivia.

Messi’s presence is partly because Paulo Dybala is not ready. This star is going through a difficult time at AS Roma (Italy), when he has only scored 2 goals since the beginning of the season and the team is ranked 12th in Serie A.

Coach Scaloni also called up young and new players to the Argentina squad such as Nico Paz, Enzo Barrenechea, Facundo Buonanotte and Valentin Castellanos from Lazio. Striker Alejandro Garnacho returned along with Nico Gonzalez and defender Nehuen Perez.

However, the most notable return is number 1 goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez after a suspension. Emiliano Martinez recently won the world’s best goalkeeper award for the second consecutive year at the Ballon d’Or ceremony.

In addition, center-back Cristian Romero and midfielder Lo Celso were affected by injuries, but recent tests have shown that they are fully recovered in time to play in the upcoming matches. In the upcoming and final match schedule of 2024, the Argentina team has 2 matches against Paraguay (away) and Peru (home), respectively at 6:30 am on November 15 and 7:00 am on November 20.
