Messi was suspended after the Chile match in the Copa América and his statements after it. He couldn't play for 3 months and got banned for 1 match. Now he has served his match ban, he will be available for Scaloni.
Messi's 1st match after his ban will be against Brazil, and then he will come up against his friend Luis Suárez and Uruguay. The Argentine returns for 2 of the best matches between South American sides.
The Argentine's return eclipses the rest of the squad named by Lionel Scaloni for the doubleheader against Brazil and Uruguay. But one of the best players in history deserves it.
Argentina have named some of the best-attacking players, but Scaloni has not called up Mauro Icardi who is emerging as one of the great stars for PSG.
The Argentina squad is the following: Marchesín, Musso, Emiliano Martínez, Andrada, Foyth, Saravia, Otamendi, Pezzella, Marcos Rojo, Kannemann, Tagliafico, Nehuén Pérez, Guido Rodríguez, Lo Celso, Leandro Paredes, Nico Domínguez, Rodrigo de Paul, Acuña, Pereyra, Lucas Ocampos, Messi, Agüero, Nico González, Lucas Alario, Lautaro Martínez and Paulo Dybala.
