"I saw Messi play on Saturday. From what I know, he finished well. I haven't spoken to him yet,"
"Now we have the last training session for tomorrow's match, and as we always do before preparing for the final training, I'll talk to him and if he's in condition, he'll play tomorrow."
Lionel Messi rejoined the Argentina squad and is eligible for selection for the friendly against Puerto Rico after returning from Inter Miami duty. Messi missed Argentina's 1-0 win over Venezuela after being granted permission to play for Inter Miami against Atlanta United. He recorded two goals and an assist in Inter Miami's 4-0 victory, raising his MLS total to 26 and becoming the first player to score at least twice in nine matches in a single MLS regular season. Final selection for the Puerto Rico friendly will depend on a fitness assessment during the last training session. Argentina plans to give opportunities to new players; Matias Soule was discussed but not selected for this window. Soule has three goals in six Serie A appearances and may be eligible to switch allegiance to Italy because of dual citizenship.
