Tigres striker Rodrigo Aguirre has cautioned his Uruguay team-mates against taking fierce rivals Argentina lightly following Lionel Messi's recent retirement from international duty. Interim head coach Diego Forlan will lead La Celeste into Friday's high-profile friendly showdown at La Bombonera during the final international window of the year.
Liverpool centre-back Ronald Araujo has warned his Uruguay team-mates that fierce rivals Argentina remain a formidable force despite Lionel Messi's recent international retirement. Currently on loan at Anfield from Barcelona, the defender is preparing to face the South American heavyweights in a prestigious friendly clash at La Bombonera on Friday.
Roma have taken a firm stance regarding Nahuel Molina by blocking his late call-up to the Argentina national team for the upcoming international break. Despite a significant reduction in the defender's FIFA suspension, the Giallorossi have opted to keep the player at the Trigoria training base.
Lionel Messi is poised to make a stunning and emotional return to Argentina just months after bidding farewell to the international stage. Inter Miami are reportedly finalising plans for a high-profile preseason friendly that would see the legendary forward step back onto the pitch where he played his final game for the 2022 World Cup winners.
