Messi Rejoins Argentina line-up as World Cup qualifiers

Lionel Messi has been called up for Argentina to face Paraguay and Peru in the coming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches. The 36-year-old superstar, who had missed earlier games because of fitness problems, is back, and his return to international football is highly awaited. Coach Lionel Scaloni said he is excited because Messi is an important element in the squad. For that matter, Argentina currently leads the South American qualifiers with an unbeaten run and has been one of those teams in excellent form.

With his presence, the team will be strengthened in their desire not to lose the rhythm. The two matches are scheduled for October 12 and 17. Obviously, the return of their captain was enthusiastically received by fans. Messi’s experience and skill will be very important for Argentina in the quest to get a ticket to the World Cup.
