Did you capture the news? Lionel Messi has been unnoticed from Argentina’s brand new squad for 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni has now defined why he didn’t select Messi.
The Albiceleste will take on Chile and Colombia on 28 January and 2 February, respectively. Though the South American giants have already secured a place at the finals, no longer selecting Messi will usually boost eyebrows.
"Clearly we would like to have Messi here with us," Scaloni advised reporters on Wednesday, in step with Marca.
"I spoke to him and he informed me that COVID hit him difficult.
"It is prime for him to get properly, and that is why I determined that the nice option changed into for him to live at his club,” he introduced.
Meanwhile, Messi is anticipated to steer the Argentines at the World Cup in Qatar in November. It can be the superstars’ 5th finals.
