Messi Leads Argentina Squad Despite Injury Doubt

By IANS News October 06, 2023 • 12:44 PM View: 344

Argentine Football Association: Lionel Messi has been named in Argentina's squad for World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Peru later this month, the Argentine Football Association said on Thursday.

The Albiceleste captain's inclusion comes despite an undisclosed muscle injury that has kept the 36-year-old Inter Miami forward out of the Major League Soccer club's past four games.

Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni called up five uncapped players: Marcos Pellegrino, Lucas Esquivel, Carlos Alcaraz, Bruno Zapelli, and Facundo Farias.
