Scaloni Urges Fans Not to Pressure Messi Over 2026 World Cup
Argentina’s head coach, Lionel Scaloni, has urged fans not to pressure Lionel Messi about playing in the 2026 World Cup.
Argentina secured their spot in next year’s tournament after a 4-1 win over Brazil earlier this week, leaving many wondering if Messi, now 37, will aim for his sixth World Cup appearance.
“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.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
