Lionel Messi has been named in Argentina's squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil, despite missing a recent match due to fatigue. Coach Javier Mascherano noted Messi needed rest after a demanding schedule, confirming he is fit to play later in the month. Alongside Messi, Manchester City's Claudio Echeverri and other notable players from clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United have been selected as Argentina aims to maintain their top position in the CONMEBOL qualifiers with a five-point lead.
"Obviously we talked about it and I always say the same thing, there is no one in the world that knows their body as Leo knows it."
"After three games in six days, we thought that the best thing was to be able to rest, especially on a trip to the other coast of two-and-a-half, three hours."
