Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi has not been included in Argentina's squad for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil. The 37-year-old returned to Miami's starting line-up for their Major League Soccer win over Atlanta United but picked up an injury during Sunday's game.

The race to book a ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues across South America during the March international period, with world champions Argentina leading the pack as things stand. La Albiceleste are currently top of the CONMEBOL qualifying table and can secure a berth at next summer's tournament should they sit 13 points ahead of seventh place after meetings with Uruguay and Brazil.
