After recovering from an ankle injury, Lionel Messi met part of the team that will fly to Venezuela for the double qualifying round.

Lionel Messi arrived at the hotel where Argentina will meet before the match against Venezuela with Antonela Roccuzzo. His wife stayed in the truck while Marito Di Stéfani, the AFA supporter, told him where to go. Minutes after arriving, Messi shared with his followers the first image of him in “Selection Mode” in a long time.

The Argentine captain stepped out of the truck and appeared completely relaxed. Despite the incident with the suitcase, everything was resolved quickly and La Pulga walked to the hotel entrance carrying a black suitcase and a pink Luis Vuitton bag.

It should be noted that DIbu Martínez will not be able to play in October matches since he was suspended by Conmebol for “insulting behavior and violating fair play rules” in matches against Chile and Colombia.
