Messi Dropped from Argentina Squad Ahead of Crucial 2026 World Cup Qualifiers

Lionel Messi will miss Argentina's crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Brazil and Uruguay. Despite being named to Argentina's provisional squad, Messi was left off the final team list, which was revealed this week, due to fitness concerns.

The 37-year-old star has recently seen limited involvement at Inter Miami, missing three MLS games due to load management, although he did play the full 90 minutes against Atlanta United on Sunday. Argentina's medical staff continues to work closely with Inter Miami specialists to assess Messi's fitness.
