Argentina national team forward Lionel Messi has rejoined training at the team's camp.
Idman.Biz reports that this was announced by the team's official "X" social network account.
The 38-year-old captain was called up to the national team for the October matches against Venezuela and Puerto Rico. However, he did not participate in the first match held in Miami, which ended with a minimal 1:0 victory for Argentina. Head coach Lionel Scaloni explained the reason as a "decision related to the current circumstances."
The official statement of the Argentine Football Federation emphasized that Messi's return to training will allow the coaching staff to "work on key points" and prepare more efficiently for the second friendly match.
L. Messi is expected to participate in the match against Puerto Rico, which will be held on the night of the 14th to the 15th.
