It is usually required that individuals play regularly for their clubs to be considered for a place in the national team, but coach Lionel Scaloni insists that captain Lionel Messi\u2019s case is \u201cdifferent\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Coach<\/p>\n

Coach Lionel Scaloni once again emphasized the \u201cprivilege\u201d of captain Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n

The comments came on Monday, a day before Argentina\u2019s 2026 World Cup qualifier against Peru, and four days after a 2-1 defeat in Paraguay \u2013 Scaloni\u2019s side\u2019s third defeat in the group. \u201cAt this point, we have to adapt. The six World Cup qualifiers are very close together after the Copa America. We have to choose to continue with the basic squad that has brought us the joy of the cups, because there is not much time to bring other players in,\u201d Scaloni said. \u201cBut from the new year, everything will be the same, everyone needs to play regularly at their clubs and from there we can decide the level of football of each player. The only difference is with Leo. As long as Leo is not injured, he will play for the national team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Messi enters the November international break on the back of a disappointing failure to help Inter Miami CF progress further in the MLS Cup playoffs. It has also been a difficult year for the 37-year-old, who has been plagued by injuries and has only played 22 games for the club in 2024. However, when fit, the record eight-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner has been brilliant \u2013 he has scored 21 goals and provided 11 assists this season.<\/p>\n

After Messi received much criticism for his disappointing performance in the 1-2 loss in Paraguay.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeo\u2019s year was the year of a player who played a lot of games, had a lot of opportunities, had a Copa America in between,\u201d Scaloni added. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult for him to be 100% fit and not have any problems, I think that\u2019s normal. But he\u2019s always been fit when he comes back to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Lionel<\/p>\n

Messi played a key role in the 2024 Copa America win, also scoring six goals and providing two assists in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Argentina host Peru on Tuesday in their 12th match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which is also the final international of the year. The 2025 MLS season doesn\u2019t start until late February, so Messi is looking forward to a long break that will help him recharge, and especially get back in shape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
