Argentina World Cup: Argentina captain Lionel Messi will miss his team's World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Colombia next month due to injury.

The 37-year-old was a glaring omission from the Albiceleste's 28-man squad named on Monday as he continues to recover from an ankle ligament injury sustained during Argentina's victory over Colombia in the Copa America final in July, reported Xinhua.

Veteran River Plate goalkeeper Franco Armani was also left out, as was Roma forward Paulo Dybala.
