Argentina national team's forward Lionel Messi may not take the field in the 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Ecuador. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match will take place on September 10. According to the Dsports source, there is a high possibility that the Argentina team will not take the 38-year-old superstar to Ecuador in order to protect him from new injuries.
The "Albiceleste" team has already secured participation in the upcoming World Cup, and the decisive matches of the season for the "Inter Miami" club are ahead. Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni does not want to overload the young player excessively.
On September 5, Argentina will host Venezuela at home. The match will start at 02:30 Moscow time.
