Lionel Scaloni, the manager of Argentina, gave a report on Lionel Messi and Alexis Mac Allister’s health before Thursday’s World Cup qualifier against Venezuela.

The winners of the 2024 Copa America are getting ready to play again after missing their most recent match against Colombia by a score of 2-1.

Scaloni can’t use Emiliano Martinez as his first-choice goalie because he was banned for two games for two different offenses in the last international.

Marcos Acuna, Nicolas Gonzalez, Paulo Dybala, and Alejandro Garnacho have all been forced to leave the game because they are hurt, according to the Argentina manager.

Messi is going to play for Argentina again.

Mac Allister isn’t sure if he will play, but Messi is set to play for his country again after healing from an ankle injury he got in July’s Copa America final against Colombia.

Messi has been getting back in shape with Inter Miami. He has played in all six of the team’s most recent MLS games.

Scaloni has said that the 37-year-old is ready to play in the next two games, which are against Venezuela and Bolivia.

Scaloni also said, “Leo is fine.” “He played a few games before coming here. That was just what he needed. He’s in good shape and will play for the team.

The player with the most goals and appearances for Argentina has scored 109 goals in 187 games, including 31 goals in 65 World Cup qualifiers.
