In the final match before joining the Argentina national team for the 2026 World Cup, Lionel Messi contributed two assists. However, Messi's substitution in the 73rd minute immediately caused great concern throughout the MLS league as well as within the Argentina national team, in the context of the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

However, following thorough medical examinations, Inter Miami confirmed that Lionel Messi can return to training and playing, the timing depending on his ability. This information quickly dispelled concerns surrounding the physical condition of the former World Cup-winning superstar.

Argentina has yet to announce its 26-player squad for the 2026 World Cup. Coach Lionel Scaloni has also left open the possibility of calling up Lionel Messi, stating that the final decision rests with the Argentina captain.

If he participates, this will most likely be the last World Cup of Messi's career. The superstar born in 1987 will also reach the milestone of six appearances at the biggest football event on the planet, an achievement few players have reached.
