Well! As reported by Infobae, the latest update on Messi’s injury looks positive. He has trained normally with the Argentina squad and is expected to be available for their next World Cup qualifier against Peru. If everything goes as planned, Lionel Messi could be included in the starting eleven for Argentina in the upcoming clash. Moreover, if the star player is fit to start against Peru, it will be a major boost for Argentina, as they aim to maintain their apex position in the CONMEBOL qualifiers table.

Lionel Messi’s recovery has implications not just for the Argentine national team but also for his current club, Inter Miami, owned by former football legend David Beckham.

The Herons struggled without their star player in the crucial games last month, leading to their failure to secure an MLS playoff spot.
