Lionel Scaloni has discussed the uncertainty about Lionel Messi’s involvement in the 2026 World Cup.
The 38-year-old captain has not retired from international play, but his future remains unclear.
Last November, Messi mentioned he didn’t want to be a ‘burden’ to the team, causing speculation about his availability.
After his transition to MLS in 2023, some have questioned whether he can still perform at a top level. However, Scaloni is confident he can.
