Messi rested for FIFA WC qualifiers against Brazil, Uruguay due to discomfort

NEW DELHI: Lionel Messi has been rested by Argentina ahead of their two FIFA World Cup qualifiers games which was confirmed after head coach Lionel Scaloni announced the 26-man squad on Monday. Alongside Messi, Paulo Dybala also misses out on his third consecutive national team duty through injury.

Argentina have had the most points after each match day so far, and goal difference is the only reason they have not topped the table right from the very start of qualifying. IANS
