Why Lionel Messi will miss Argentina’s friendly against Indonesia in Jakarta – explained

-


 

Lionel Messi is back with Argentina on international duty, but he will play no part in their upcoming friendly against Indonesia in Jakarta.

WHAT HAPPENED? Messi will not face Indonesia in the second of his country’s upcoming friendlies, although World Cup-winning coach Lionel Scaloni has suggested he will start Friday’s game against Australia in China.

WHY ISN’T MESSI PLAYING? According to journalist Gaston Edul, following the clash with the Socceroos, Messi will not travel to Jakarta for Monday’s game against Indonesia because he will be released early so he can begin his holiday period after a long season.

WHAT THEY SAID: Asked specifically about Messi’s potential playing time against Australia in a press conference, Scaloni replied: “In principle the whole game, but we’ll see. He’s always played with me.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Having won the World Cup in the middle of the 2022-23 season, Messi has probably earned a rest. Less experienced Argentina players will likely contest the fixture with Indonesia.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR MESSI: The superstar will enjoy a break from football before sealing a move to Inter Miami as he prepares to begin a new chapter in MLS.

In his return after a disappointing World Cup and a controversial move to Saudi soccer, the 38-year-old Ronaldo scored four goals in Portugal’s first two games in 2024 European Championship qualifying, showing he remains the leader that fans got used to seeing wearing the national team’s red and green uniform. Ronaldo netted twice in the 6-0 rout of Luxembourg on Sunday, three days after scoring another brace in the 4-0 win over Liechtenstein when he became the men’s player with the most international appearances with 197. “Two games, two victories,” the Portugal captain said on his social media accounts after the win at Luxembourg. “Happy to have contributed to a very positive start by our national team. Let’s go.” The goals came against European minnows but seemed to be enough to...

  Australian middle-order batsman  Travis Head   said being dropped for the opening test in India came as a surprise after “robust” conversations with the selectors, and he was ready to play anywhere in the line-up after being recalled. The 29-year-old aggressive left-hander Travis Head was left out of the team for the first test of the four-match series in Nagpur after struggling against spin on the tours of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. “It was something that I didn’t expect coming here,” Travis Head told reporters in New Delhi. “The conversations were robust. Everyone has different opinions. I respect the coaching staff and selectors and I have a strong relationship with them. “I think that’s what made the conversations the way they went because there’s respect that goes both ways and we were able to voice our opinions. “I woke up the next morning and I’m still on tour playing for Australia, I still get to do what I love to do. I’d love to be competing and playing but there’...
