Lionel Messi leads Argentina squad for FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Lionel Messi was named on Argentina's 30-man list despite having missed Paris Saint-Germain's last two matches because of a knee injury.

Lionel Messi will spearhead Argentina's squad for the next triple-header of South American FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the Argentine Football Association said on Monday.

The 34-year-old was named on the Albiceleste's 30-man list despite having missed Paris Saint-Germain's last two matches because of a knee injury.

Manager Lionel Scaloni also included Paulo Dybala, who left the pitch in tears during Juventus' 3-2 win over Sampdoria on Sunday with an apparent thigh injury.
