Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi has been left out of Argentina's squad for their next two World Cup qualifiers. The 37-year-old returned to Miami's starting line-up for their Major League Soccer win over Atlanta United but reportedly picked up an injury during Sunday's game.

The 37-year-old Messi was not included in the 25-man squad announced on Monday by Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni.

The workload of the 37-year-old Argentina captain has been managed since the start of the Major League Soccer season.
