"Many things can happen. We already have a core group of players; everyone knows that. From there, when we know how many spots we'll have, we'll make decisions. As for Leo, I haven't talked to him about it. I only know what he said publicly, and he's going to take his time with this decision."
""we'll see""
Lionel Messi hinted he could miss the 2026 World Cup after scoring twice in what he described as his final competitive home match, a 3-0 win over Venezuela. Argentina have already qualified for the 2026 tournament, topping South American qualifying with one game remaining. Messi is the top scorer in CONMEBOL qualifying with eight goals but will skip the final qualifier against Ecuador to prioritise MLS fitness. Coach Lionel Scaloni said he does not know Messi's decision, that many factors can change, and that selection choices will be made once squad spots are confirmed. Messi won the 2022 World Cup Golden Ball and helped Argentina to Copa America titles in 2021 and 2024.
