Club football is nearing its conclusion, but right after that, we’re in for international action as national teams gear up for their next fixtures. Some squads have already revealed their lineups, including the Argentina national team.
Details: Head coach Lionel Scaloni has unveiled the list of players set to compete in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The roster includes the legendary Lionel Messi. However, Paulo Dybala is absent from the squad as he continues his recovery from injury.
In the previous matches held in March, Messi was not part of the squad—he was undergoing treatment for an injury. Now, Argentina is set to face Chile on June 6 and Colombia on June 11.
Reminder: Argentina has already secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Under Lionel Scaloni's guidance, the team clinched a spot at the tournament with four matches left in the qualifiers.
In their most recent outing, Argentina thrashed Brazil 4-1.
