| Why Didn't Lionel Messi Play Against Uruguay Here's the Reason! |
Football fans around the world were eagerly waiting to watch Argentina in action during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Especially since La Albiceleste is on fire and sitting comfortably at the top of the CONMEBOL standings.
However, there's some disappointing news for Argentina supporters—Lionel Messi was ruled out of the big matches against Uruguay and Brazil!
But why? Let’s dive into the details!
Messi’s Injury: Time to Rest
Lionel Messi, Argentina’s all-time top scorer and most-capped player, had to be left out of the squad for this international break.
Coach Lionel Scaloni made the decision after Messi suffered an injury while playing for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MLS).
The injury happened during Inter Miami’s match against Atlanta United, where Messi played the full game and even scored a goal for his team.
However, after the match, it was revealed that Messi had picked up an adductor muscle injury, making him unavailable for Argentina’s crucial matches.
In an official statement, Inter Miami confirmed that Messi underwent an MRI scan to assess his condition.
The results showed a minor adductor muscle strain. While not a serious injury, he still needs time to recover before stepping back onto the field.
Messi himself addressed his condition on his Instagram account:
“I’m really sad that I won’t be able to play in these two special matches against Uruguay and Brazil. As always, I would love to be there, but this small injury means I need to rest for a bit before playing again. I’ll be cheering for the team from afar! Vamos Argentina!”
When Will Messi Return for Argentina?
For fans eager to see Messi back in action for Argentina—don’t worry! La Pulga is expected to return in June.
Argentina will continue their World Cup qualification campaign with matches against Chile and Colombia.
If he recovers in time, Messi could increase his record to 184 international appearances for Argentina.
Plus, he has the chance to add to his already incredible 112-goal tally for the national team!
So, for those disappointed that Messi missed the matches against Uruguay and Brazil—stay calm! The GOAT (Greatest of All Time) will be back stronger, fresher, and ready to deliver magic on the field in the upcoming games.
Until then, let’s keep supporting Argentina and hope they continue dominating the qualifiers!
