We will see Lionel Messi in the Argentinian jersey this summer! For the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, this still remains to be seen, but for the Copa America, it is now a given. Lionel Scaloni, the Argentine coach, communicated on Monday a first expanded list of 29 players pre-selected for the tournament, which will take place in the United States from June 20 to July 14. And, unsurprisingly, Inter Miami’s attack is one of them.
A few days ago the three ousted internationals preceded the start of the competition, which is very likely, the eight-time Ballon d’Or will therefore be there to defend the title obtained by the Albiceleste during the previous edition, in 2021 At his side, in attack, the 2022 world champions will be able to count on Angel Correa, Alejandro Garnacho, Nicolas González, Lautaro Martínez and Julian Alvarez. Paulo Dybala is significantly absent.
