Lionel Messi will miss Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil due to a muscle injury.

His absence presents significant challenges for the team as they aim to secure qualification amid critical matches.

The injury reportedly occurred during a recent game where Messi found the net, raising urgent concerns about his fitness levels moving forward.

Coach Lionel Scaloni has announced a 25-man squad without the 37-year-old forward.

The team will also be without other key players such as Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Montiel, further complicating Argentina’s strategy to maintain their lead in the South American standings.

As the upcoming matches approach, Argentina’s depth will be put to the test.

The performance of the remaining squad members will be vital for success against strong opponents in these qualifiers.
