Argentina, the reigning World Cup and Copa America champions, will play in the 2026 World Cup South American qualifiers away to Venezuela on October 10, before returning to play at home against Bolivia five days later.

Scaloni has revealed the team’s latest readiness to use Alexis Mac Allister, a talented midfielder from Liverpool, because his physical condition is not 100% after suffering an injury while playing for the club.

“Mac Allister is training separately from his team-mates. He is unlikely to be available for the first game for precautionary reasons.” 

But in the case of Lionel Messi, the superstar from Inter Miami, who has returned to the team after being dropped from the team last month due to injury, he is fully fit to play in the game this Thursday.

“Messi is fine and ready to start. He played the previous two games and is ready to play for us,” the Argentina coach said. ( hotfuns )
