Lionel Messi is rumored to start for Argentina with Alejandro Papu Gomez also having a chance in the World Cup qualifiers.
Messi will play for Argentina but it remains to be seen if he will play from the start against Uruguay or if coach Lionel Scaloni would bring him on as a substitute. Per a report by TyC Sports, if Messi does not start against Uruguay, it would be Paulo Dybala or Alejandro Papu Gomez starting in his place.
According to the report by TyC Sports, Joaquin Correa, Angel Correa and Julian Alvarez also have chances of starting the match.
In addition, Guido Rodriguez is expected to start in place of Leandro Paredes. Here is the rumored eleven:
Emiliano Martinez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolas Otamendi, Marcos Acuna; Rodrigo De Paul, Guido Rodriguez, Gio Lo Celso; Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martinez, Angel Di Maria
[…] where he will play against Uruguay even if coach Lionel Scaloni takes him as acting. According to TyC Sports, if Messi does not start against Uruguay, it could be Paulo Dybala or Alejandro Papu Gomez starting […]
Dybala or Papu and ADM should be the starter, let Messi take a rest
The team and Scaloni should be tested without Messi. They have done good without Messi against Mexico, Germany and Ecuador. Let them get tested against this Uruguay side which would be eager for revenge. Messi can start fresh against Brazil. Want to see Dybala taking up some responsibility to lead the team on pitch like sometimes he does for Juventus.
When did Scaloni’s Argentina play against Germany? Scores? I don’t think Scaloni’s team has played against any European or African teams since he took over.
In order Mexico 4:0, Germany 2:2, Ecuador 6:1, but these were only friendlies, in last WCQ we were catastrophe without Messi
Messi should rest.
