Sports00:37, 14-02-2026

Lionel Messi may not play for the Argentina national team in the 2026 World Cup. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This information was reported by The Touchline publication. According to the source, the 38-year-old footballer is considering the possibility of missing the tournament.

This decision will mainly depend on his physical condition. If Messi does not feel fully prepared, or even notices a minor issue, he may decide not to participate in the World Cup.

Additionally, Messi does not consider the MLS (Major League Soccer) level to be sufficiently high. He understands that the competitions in this league may make it difficult to maintain the optimal form required to prepare for the World Cup.

For this reason, Messi realizes the necessity of maintaining his physical fitness at the highest level. In the 2026 World Cup, Argentina will defend its title as the reigning champion.

It is worth recalling that in the 2022 World Cup final, Argentina won the championship by defeating France in a penalty shootout. Source: euro-football.ru.
