Lionel Messi May Return for World Cup Qualifiers

News summary

Argentina's coach Lionel Scaloni expressed optimism about Lionel Messi's potential return for the World Cup qualifiers in October, following his recovery from a right ankle injury sustained during the Copa América final on July 14. Messi has recently resumed training with Inter Miami and is expected to play in an upcoming MLS match against Philadelphia. Scaloni acknowledged the team's strength in securing a 3-0 victory over Chile without Messi, stating that while it is challenging for a team to not rely on him, they have developed a game strategy independent of individual players. As the World Cup holders, Argentina currently leads their qualifying group and aims to maintain their form in the upcoming matches. Additionally, speculation surrounds a potential Finalissima match against Spain, which may be scheduled for March 2026, though Scaloni noted that arrangements are not yet finalized.
