Legendary Lionel Messi came to Argentina to join the national team in matches against Paraguay and Peru in the South American qualifiers

The star player for Rosario was in Buenos Aires after Inter Miami missed the chance to make the MLS playoffs. What are the team’s plans for the second FIFA day?

Lionel Messi is already in Argentina, where the South American Qualifiers are being held, for the next two days. It was after 7 a.m. when the plane bringing the Argentina team captain from Miami touched down at Ezeiza airport. After going through the appropriate steps, number 10 moved to the AFA building that was named after him to start the first day of training.

Along with him on the flight were Atlanta United player Thiago Almada, who was also on the team that played in the World Cup in Qatar, and Facundo Farías, who is also on the Atlanta United team.

Leonel Scaloni called up the star player from Rosario even though he had just gotten over an illness that kept him out for more than two weeks after Inter Miami’s Major League Soccer games. La Pulga put on the pink shirt again last Saturday, after not playing for 17 days. They played Cincinnati in the second half of a game that ended in a 0-1 loss at the DRV Stadium PNK.

Messi will play two more games in the US league, both against Charlotte FC, since his team has no chance of making the MLS playoffs. He will also play four games against Argentina throughout the rest of the year. Argentina will play two games in the first one. On Thursday, August 8, at 8 p.m., they will play Paraguay at the Monumental stadium, and on Tuesday, August 17, at 11 p.m. Argentina time, they will go to Lima to play Peru.

This Monday is the first day of work for the world title team. At 5 p.m. in the afternoon, the called-up players will train in Ezeiza without anyone else present. On Tuesday at the same time, authorized reporters will be able to see the last 15 minutes of the National Team’s practice. There will be a game against Guaraní on Wednesday, the day before Daniel Garnero’s first game as coach. He will also work, and Scaloni will hold the traditional press meeting before the game.

The coach who got the third star for Argentine football had to miss a lot of games because he was hurt and had to watch Messi’s performance after the injury and decide if he could play in the game against Paraguay at River Plate. Juan Foyth was taken off the team and Facundo Medina was called up in his place. This happened again in September when Argentina played Ecuador and went to Bolivia to see the peak of the Peace. In the past few hours, another injury has been confirmed: Paulo Dybala hurt his knee in Roma’s win over Cagliari. What happened to him will have to be studied before he can play again.
