As emphasized by Argentina's national team coach Lionel Scaloni, Lionel Messi will not take the field in the upcoming match against Ecuador. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Currently 38 years old, the forward greatly contributed to the "Albiceleste" team's 3-0 home victory over Venezuela by scoring two goals. On Tuesday night, the Argentinians will travel to Ecuador for the match, but the star player will not participate in this game.

According to Scaloni, Messi has exerted great effort for the team and now deserves rest and more time with his family. For this reason, he will not go to the match against Ecuador.

Lionel Messi also announced in his official statement that he will not take part in this game. It should be noted that the Argentina national team secured their participation in the 2026 World Cup before the season, successfully completing the qualifiers last spring.

This allows the team to better prepare for upcoming competitions.
