Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has expressed optimism about having star player Lionel Messi back for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in October. Messi, who sustained a right ankle injury during the Copa América final against Colombia on July 14, has been out of action since then. However, he has returned to training with Inter Miami and might make an appearance in the upcoming MLS game against Philadelphia.
Scaloni mentioned that they are hopeful for Messi's return and will assess his availability when the squad list is announced in October. Despite Messi's absence, Argentina managed a convincing 3-0 victory over Chile in their recent qualifier, strengthening their position at the top of the group standings.
