Argentina’s head coach, Lionel Scaloni, has urged fans not to pressure Lionel Messi about playing in the 2026 World Cup.

“We’ll see what happens. There’s still plenty of time,” Scaloni said. “We need to take it one game at a time. Let’s not drive him crazy with this. He’ll decide when he’s ready.”
Messi missed Argentina’s last two matches against Uruguay and Brazil due to a low-grade adductor muscle injury. The Inter Miami star is currently focused on recovery.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
