Messi set to make Argentina comeback against Chile

The club scene returned to the news after the Copa America, where Argentina retained the title and became champions, but where they had to mourn the injury to Leo Messi. It was later confirmed that the Argentinian had suffered an injury to the ligaments in his right ankle.
No estimated time out was given, although his coach at Inter Miami, Tata Martino, confirmed that he did not expect him to be out for at least the next month. For the time being, the Argentine star remains off the turf and is recovering on an individual basis.
The deadlines are being met at the moment and, although his exact date of return is still not known, Messi has already set himself a target. According to journalist Gaston Edul in 'TyC Sports', the 'Albiceleste' captain wants to be in top form for the international break in September.
This one is set for the first week of September, on the 5th to be more specific, where Argentina will face Chile in the seventh matchday of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. This match will be played in an iconic stadium in Argentina, El Monumental, where River Plate play. Leo does not want to miss this date and thus be able to continue helping his national team to stay at the top of the qualification.
