PSG reluctantly give in and Messi to travel with Argentina

Scaloni has called up Messi for the November games, in which Argentina's place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be up for grabs. And the Rosario star wants to be available for the 'Albiceleste'.

Paris Saint-Germain have given Messi the go-ahead to travel to Argentina to play against Uruguay and Brazil. But first the '30' has travelled to Madrid to undergo special therapy for his knee.

'La Sexta' reports that it is a regenerative therapy on his left knee, still resented by Luis Adrian's entry with the Venezuelan national team. Pochettino will give more information at a press conference on Friday.

At the Parc des Princes they hope it will be one of Messi's last big trips for the rest of the season. His start has not been as good as they anticipated and they want him to be 100 per cent physically, although they also want to keep him happy.

"It's a bit difficult to explain. In these two months he has been more in his country than in Paris. In the last international break he played three matches. He travels, comes back, travels, comes back and now he has muscular problems," Leonardo said recently.
